A simple sequence today, but one I’m genuinely really pleased to get. I’d noticed this particular site, and the hole in the tree, a week or so ago and wondered whether it was being occupied. Today I discovered that it was: by a pair of great tits, clearly with young mouths to feed. The pictures speak for themselves.

I watched them as they flew back and forth for about 15 minutes, keeping a safe distance away from the entrance to their nest. The photos are cropped (apart from the final flight shot).

Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens.

  1. Nice spotting! And they were keeping an eye on you 😀

    1. Darko, they were probably aware that I was around, but it’s a fairly public spot so they are used to people being near.

  2. Good sequence!
