Long-tailed Tit, the Snow Fairy (073)

About the Long-tailed Tit

• A subspecies of long-tailed tit found in Hokkaido, affectionately known as the "snow fairy."
• Measuring about 14cm in length and weighing only 8-10g, it is one of Japan's smallest birds.
• In winter, its face turns completely white, giving it an adorable, snowman-like appearance.
• They live in flocks and, in winter, form mixed flocks with other small birds, moving through the forest.
• Their fluffy feathers protect them from the cold, helping them survive Hokkaido's harsh winters.
