Thanks PB, it would have been about eye level. A feeder was nearby...

Nice one Snappy. See them now and again on my walks.

Thanks William We haven't seen the pair that visited our garden for a while now...

Very nice shot SM! I wonder if northern Germany has Long-tailed Tit's? I've never seen one here.

Acording to Google:

Yes, the Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus) is found in Northern Germany, as it is widely distributed across most of Europe, including Germany, in temperate woodlands and shrubby areas. The subspecies found in Germany is typically Aegithalos caudatus europaeus, which can be distinguished by its unique stripe-headed appearance.
