Wow, great post! I love all the information gathered, and the photos are great. Been a while since I've seen one of these; last one was near my worklplace, in an urban area!
Thank you ☺
There are more great tits in our area and rarely long-tailed. But the blue tits are very entertaining to watch.
Wonderful entry for the DNA species hunt - great photos and so much information! A great example of how to write up entries for the DNA Species Hunt - I'll have to do it for some of the birds by our home in the Boreal forest of Canada - there are so many of them.
Thank you very much for your kind words.

Beautiful tit. And for some reason they don't live in Siberia. But we have their closest relative, the azure tit.
Thank you!
Azure tit is something we do not have here. But as whole we have more or less same birds.
