The long-tailed tit or long-tailed bushtit. In Russia they are also called "a ladle". Because they are very similar to him :)
Keep flocks together surveying the trees and shrubs in search of edibles. They resonate with squeaking sounds, sometimes cracking. I noticed that they crack more often in the winter. I do not know why :)
In my opinion, they are the instigators of "mixed bird flocks", because they always fly in family packs. Other birds join them: treecreepers, nuthatches, big tits, willow tits, chiffchaff, sometimes woodpeckers.
