Long-Tailed Tits – forty years ago in my nature notebooks

I love the description of Long-Tailed Tits that I wrote in my nature notebooks forty years ago:

They really are a very small bodied bird with a remarkably long tail. They look just like fuzzy lollipops.

The patterns on their tails are interesting. So are their fluffy faces.

Here’s my drawing from when I was 12 years old:

It still looks quite accurate.

I’d like to see much more of them.
