Long-tailed Tits are tiny birds of hedgerows, woodland, parks and gardens. They build a domed nest in a bush or the fork of a tree using moss, which they camouflage with cobwebs and lichen. They line the nest with feathers, using as many as 1,500 to make it soft for the eight to twelve eggs they lay. Tits are active feeders, hunting out insects and spiders amongst the smaller branches of trees in woodlands. But they are also well-adapted to gardens and towns and will visit birdtables and feeders. In winter, they will form flocks with other tits, roaming woodlands, parks and gardens, and commons and heaths with suitable bushes.
