Long-tailed tits in Erding, Germany

Calling them ‘long-tailed’ tits may seem strange when you learn they’re just half an inch long, tail and all. That’s smaller than some species of hummingbird. These tiny, gregarious birds hunt caterpillars and other insects, and are found across the temperate climate zones of Europe and Asia.
