Just a small selection of one of the many blue tits which are frequenting the garden at the moment. While hardly exotic, they are one of the prettiest garden birds.

    Looks like he might be interested in lichens.
    Pretty little guy, almost flashy.

    Darko, that's them! It's all those bright colours. It goes to their head.

    Jill, thanks. That shot was actually the frame immediately before the 4th shot when he turned his back on me.

    They're cute, but very indignant in the hand. I've heard quite a few stories of late from bird ringers about "feathered fury". They've got a reputation all their own :bandit:

    Adele, I like the idea of 'feathered fury'. It figures with them. Bandits indeed.
