Family photo

I heard and then followed a busy long-tailed tit, hoping for a photo. I was not disappointed as it lead me to its 9 chicks sitting on a branch.

While the nesting attempts of these tits often fail, they either try again or help relatives with their nesting attempt. This additional family help can lead to up to 12 surviving juveniles.
