Hi,

Just thought I would try out the new gallery etc...

This is a Blue Tit that we have named Billy-no-mates, he is resident in our garden and dive bombs any other Blue Tit that dares to try and use the feeders... He is also known as a short tailed tit as he seems to have somehow lost his tail feathers....

A hint to users is to try not to resize the images, process a seperate image for each posting size...

Laughter here... I need a larger monitor

All the best

Phil

Not my favourite character lol, and he looks so innocent there, but a lovely image as always Phil.

Great shot Phil - the snow really adds to it - if only there was some in London.....

I agree, the snow adds a lot to this image

You did well to keep detail at such a slow shutter speed, they don't stay still for long do they.
Well done.

Geoff.
