mumruffin (MUM-ruf-in) - (UK dialect) the long-tailed tit.



Thanks, WikiMedia!

Being a small Eurasian passerine bird (Aegithalos caudatus) with black, white, and pink plumage, related to bushtits. Also, a cutie. The mumruffin name is not common, and is especially associated with Gloucestershire. It's origin is unknown, and is definitely not to be confused with a bumruffin.
