Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus)

Yes, I believe this to be a common bird for you living in the UK, however its' a lifer for me. It was really quite difficult to get a picture of these fellows as they almost never stay still. Some visitors were watching me with amusement as I went about after the bird. Yes, London Wetland Centre was a very enjoyable place to be in, I spent two days there, also met an old english gentleman centre volunteer who had lived in Singapore during his army days.

You have posted three lovely images, each with something special about it. I love the colours and lighting in this one and what a smashing lifer to get. Very nice indeed. Thanks for posting them.
