The Long Tailed Tit: Close Up HD Footage (Aegithalos caudatus)

Ever seen a Long-Tailed Tit? These cute little birds are a common sight in British gardens and woods. They're dead easy to spot with their roundish bodies and super long tails - almost as long as the rest of them! Their black and white feathers are topped off with a lovely pink colour on their shoulders.
These sociable birds love to hang out in family groups, chirping away with their high-pitched calls. When it gets cold, they buddy up with other small birds to stay warm and find grub. Pretty smart, right?
Long-Tailed Tits are brilliant nest builders. They make these amazing ball-shaped nests using moss, lichen, and spider webs, then line them with soft feathers. They can lay up to 12 eggs, but sadly, lots of the chicks don't survive.
These tiny birds munch on small insects and spiders, which they find while hopping about in trees and bushes. They're quite common in the UK, but tough winters can be hard on them. Still, they're hardy little things and great fun to watch!
