In Finland, a Crested Tit appears to have put on an elf hat with a bobble on top! It's perched on a branch facing the camera, with its pointed crest straight up. At the tip of the crest, the photographer caught a tiny point of light that looks like a white pompom. The bird is a beautiful combination of white, black, and grey, with the body being primarily white, and the crest having delicate feathers of white edged in deep grey. Below the beak, there is a triangular black "beard" that reaches to a thin black line going around the neck. The eyes are luminous black, and the short beak is black as well. Because of the position, its wings, back, and tail are not visible. Photographer - Kari Koivisto
