Among a party of long-tailed tits at Humberston Fitties today was one which had a tail so short as to be almost non-existent. Presumably the long tail is an aide to balance in the species’ feeding behaviour, but this particular bird didn’t seem in the slightest disadvantaged. It was as acrobatic as the rest of the party.
