Long tailed tit (Aegithalos caudatus) with feathers to line the nest the bird is perched on. The entrace is at the top between branches near the bird.


There were a pair of longtailed tits lining this nest with feathers gathered from around the wetland centre at Arundel. The location of the nest is along the broadwalk between two trunks covered with ivy mosses. It may include spiders webb as the nest stretches like elastic.
