Long-tailed Tit Aegithalos caudatus
	Monks Eleigh Garden, Suffolk, England October 2007 During the winter Long-tailed Tits are usually seen in small flocks. These consist of a family party of parents and offspring from the previous breeding season with any extra adults that have helped to raise the brood. These helpers improve the survival rate of the young.
	At the start of the breeding season, the flock breaks up into pairs, with territories within the territory of the winter flock. For more photos and notes, see my European page.
