All of you would have seen and enjoyed the image featured under the caption "Image of the Month" I had little difficulty in identifying this bird since it was juvenile. Thanks to Pete for his help in identification - It is the "Long-tailed Tit" - Aegithalos caudatus(Scientific Name)
It is an absolute delight to watch these birds as they are mostly in groups swinging through the trees in tight noisy groups. Their appearance is like a tiny, fluffy ball with a great long black and white tail. Seen common during winters in woods and gardens.
These birds have a peculiar behaviour- They use their call to keep the flock together if one bird gets separated from the rest of the flock, the others will double-back to 'rescue' it.
Longing to get a photograph of the adult.
