Long Tailed Tit (aegithalos caudatus)

not really a bird of Asia, but it is here! I saw two in a large, plum-blossom tree near a park...extremely cute and so tiny!

Beautiful bird, and a sweet setting! I absolutely love the berries in the tree! Great post! :t:
 
:bounce: Gorgeous pinkish composition with this favourite bird of mine, I love it to bits!!! :t: :t: :loveme:
 
The pink buds are blossoms about to bloom, not actual fruit. This is a plum "blossom" tree which produces no fruit.

Delightful setting for this pretty little bird - love all the pink tones :t::t::t:
 
A beautiful bird to see wherever it may be found. :t:

Brilliant photo!
 
Great shot Kevin! I saw a few of these in Kyushu bot no chance to get close enough for a photo. This is still on my "most wanted" list for a photo! Well done!
