Long-tailed Tit

Imagine having 10 babies to care for . . . It’s all in a day’s work for a pair of long-tailed tits! Not all kids will get to see one of these birds, so this book gives them an up-close peek into the lives of these little hedgerow animals. Discover how the parent birds weave a nest from moss, sheep’s wool and spiderwebs. Watch as the chicks grow bigger and bigger in the nest, which thankfully stretches to accommodate the growing family. And learn what happens when disaster occurs and a magpie attacks the long-tailed tits’ nest.
