Long-tailed Tit: Migration

The Long-tailed Tit is mainly a resident.

• Sedentary: the family flocks stay within a limited area all year round.
• Irruption years: in some autumns northern and eastern birds (the white-headed race caudatus) may appear further south in irruptive movements.
• No long migrations: the species makes no regular long-distance migrations, but young birds may disperse some way from their birthplace in autumn.
