The Eurasian penduline tit is a small tit, 10–11.5cm long, with a finely pointed bill and a relatively long tail. The head is light grey with a black mask through the eye and the back is chestnut-brown. It is relatively widespread throughout the western Palearctic, migratory in the northern part of its range but resident in the southern part (Wikipedia, general species account).
The breeding range in western Europe expanded during the 1980s and 1990s. It builds an elaborate hanging nest, a large pouch, and the clutch is six to eight white eggs laid from the end of April to the beginning of July. The source does not describe its status in China (Wikipedia, general species account).
