Nature with Steve<p>A juvenile Long-tailed Tit, at Upton Warren last month. The youngster already has the trademark long tail; in time the broad band of brown plumage on each side of the face will become a narrower, black stripe running above the eye, and the pink rim around the eye will become less noticeable. In addition, pinkish hues will develop on the parts of the back and belly. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/LongTailedTit" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LongTailedTit</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Plumescrolling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Plumescrolling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Bird" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Bird</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Birds</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Vogels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vogels</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/oiseaux" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>oiseaux</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Nature</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/NaturePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NaturePhotography</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Natuur" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Natuur</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Wildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wildlife</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/WildlifePhotography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WildlifePhotography</span></a></p>
Nature with Steve<p>Here’s another Puffin from last Sunday’s Skomer trip. This one is demonstrating how these birds can fly despite having wings that don’t look big enough: jetpacks.
