Latin name: Aegithalos caudatus
Size: Approximately 14cms long
Distribution: Found throughout the UK.
Months seen: All year.
Food: Insects and seeds
Habitat: Woods, parks and gardens
Special features: A very rounded body and long dark tail. From a
distance it looks like a tennis ball on a stick!
Colouring is mostly black, white and pink. Juveniles have black cheeks and
shorter tails.
These birds are very acrobatic and always on the move, flitting from tree to
tree in search of food.
 They are frequently seen in gardens in the winter months where they often arrive
in flocks.
