Long Tailed Tick

[Lepus]

Not had much luck photo wise of late , certainly not got anything that different . But going through my photos from yesterday , I see this Long Tailed Tit has picked up a visitor , note the Tick on his Forehead . Hopefully it will get it`s fill and drop off .

Thanks all , have seen ticks on Robins and even a common lizard , but was quite surprised to see one on this chap as they seldom seem to go on the floor .
