White headed Long-tailed Tit- Aegithalos caudatus caudatus

Hi Guys,

During my recent session with at the forest feeding station of one of my friends (see earlier GSW -post) i was also able to get a shot of this White headed LTT wich is a rather scarce version of the regular LTT. I have only been able to get a decent shot of this version of the LTT once before so i was happy to get this.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel

Nice shot, like it, and an unusual little variant.
