🦉 The long-tailed tit or long-tailed bushtit (Aegithalos caudatus)

• Aegithalos (Greek): tit
• caudatus (lat.): tailed

I very rarely meet these birds in the summer. Usually the easiest time to meet them is in mid-July, when their fledglings have grown up, left the nest and follow their parents everywhere, learning about life.

When the youngsters grow up, autumn is already approaching, the time when the birds unite into small family flocks consisting of parents, children, and possibly so-called close friends (birds that helped them).
