Gouache painting of long-tailed tits for the upcoming book about my local nature reserve.
Long-tailed tits make stretchy nests from a base of moss and spider silk. On the outside they’re covered in lichen for camouflage and inside are lined with feathers for cosiness!

Shima Enaga, The Snow Fairy of Hokkaidō
The long-tailed bushtit can be found all over Europe and the Palearctic. However, one subspecies, called the shima enaga, lives exclusively in Hokkaidō, Japan's northernmost and second-largest island. It is the pure-white faces of the adult members of this Japanese subspecies that makes them look like very soft, very cute, miniature snowballs and has earned it the affectionate nickname "snow fairy."
Also known as the silver-throated dasher, the shima enaga is the second smallest bird in all of Japan. They are a tiny bird, at 12-16cm in length, including their tail at 7-9cm. You will often hear them long before you see them, as they have a constant and high-pitched call. Outside of the breeding season, they live in flocks of 10-20 birds, comprised of both parents and offspring.
