This Great Tit seems to be going through a moult, it seemed happy enough though and still ate it's fair share of food.

It was taken through my living room window during summertime.

I feel a bit sorry for this bird but he makes a good subject for a photo. I love the complimentary green background.

Nice composition and detail, strange to see a bird without feathers (kind of feel sorry for the bird) but nice shot.
