Long-tailed Tit (male)

This exquisite artwork portrays the delightful Long-tailed Tit (Aegithalos caudatus), a much-loved British and European woodland bird. With its endearing round body, fluffy pinkish plumage, and the distinctive sweeping tail that gives the species its name, this little bird is one of the most charming sights of hedgerows and gardens. The artist has captured its delicate posture and lifelike detail with remarkable precision, from the fine feather textures to the subtle blush tones along its flanks.

In the wild, Long-tailed Tits are highly social and are often seen in restless flocks, flitting acrobatically through trees and shrubs in search of insects and spiders. They are ingenious nest-builders, weaving intricate domed nests from moss, lichen, and spider silk—lined with hundreds of feathers for insulation. Common across the woodlands, parks, and gardens of Britain, Europe, and Asia, they bring a lively, communal spirit to any landscape, their high-pitched calls often heard before they are seen.

Printed to the highest museum standards as a Limited Edition of 150 Giclée prints, each artwork is produced with archival pigment inks on fine art paper, ensuring exceptional colour richness and longevity. Every print is hand-signed and numbered by the artist, supplied with a certificate of authenticity to guarantee its exclusivity.

Ideal for bird lovers, wildlife art collectors, and those seeking a touch of charm and movement for their home décor, the Long-tailed Tit print celebrates one of Britain’s most characterful garden visitors.

Poetic Note

Flitting soft through hedge and tree,

In cheerful flocks, they roam so free.

A tail of grace, a voice so sweet,

The Long-tailed Tit makes life complete.
