Tiny Cute Birdie - European Penduline Tit

October 18, 2021 at 5:54 pm, No comments

The European Penduline Tit (Remiz pendulinus) is a small bird, 10-11 centimetres long and weighing 10 grams. With its grey head, black mask and reddish rump, it makes large, comfortable nests, where females can lay their eggs comfortably. To build it they use animal or vegetable fibres, scraps of cobweb and feathery seeds of plants. The nest has a typical hanging flask shape, with an opening facing downwards. This tiny and cute bird nests mainly in the northern regions of Eurasia, where watercourses and lake environments such as reedbeds and poplar groves abound.

The juvenile European Penduline Tit shown below was photographed in a reedbed at Sermin by Koper, Slovenia.
