A male Eurasian penduline tit near its nest. We can see that it is a male on the large, black face mask; the female has a smaller mask. The nest is usually around 25 cm high and has the shape of a hanging scrotum, which has given the species its trivial name from Latin 'pendulus' meaning "pendant" or "hanging down". The nest is preferably located, as in this case, in a deciduous tree near water. The species is evaluated as Least Concern globally - but in Sweden it is considered highly threatened. Only 40 breeding individuals remain in the country. In Hungary it is relatively common.
