Long-Tailed Tit

Spent much of the day holed-up in a hide, making the most of a rare burst of (milky) sunshine. I'm a big fan of Long-Tailed Tits, though I find them tricky to photograph. They're tiny, skittish and seem to hate dwelling for any length of time in one place. But those outlandish tails – simply made for fun photographic composition.
