## Caption

Have you ever seen a long-tailed tit?

Unlike other species of tit, this petite bird rejects the shelter of nest boxes. It’s easy to see why, since man-made nest boxes can hardly compete with the delicate and beautiful cocoon-like nests that long-tailed tits create, lined with sometimes over a thousand feathers and camouflaged with lichen and cobwebs! A masterpiece isn’t made overnight and nests can take up to a month to build - with work starting in February, keep your eyes peeled! 💙
