This is my first encounter with this amazing bird - Penduline Tit, Remiz pendulinus. Unfortunately, I did not expect it and had to use maximum zoom, but I'm grateful it did not fly away and let me take a shot. The nest is apparently not finished yet: the finished one should look like a mitten with a clear "tube" (looking like a mitten thumb). A couple of these birds was building the nest, bringing the fluff from nearby willows in turn.
