Long Tailed Tit - sub-species

With all the intrest in the Northern Long-tailed Tits I thought I'd post this plate illustrating the different sub-species, it just shows how highly variable they are.

The only races recorded in the UK are A.c. rosaceus, caudatus and europaeus, the next time your abroad keep your eyes peeled

(from Tits, Nuthatches and Treecreepers)
