Bearded tit drinking

One of the best moments I've had this year. They are so fast and unpredictable. I think Danny left some of his mojo here in cheese land last April. :biggrin:

Superb Edwin,

It looks like the perch could snap and the poor bird end up in the water.

A great moment well captured.


Cheers

Austin

Well Austin.....the perched snapped and the bird just got away before getting wet. Got it on film so maybe later.

cheers,

Edwin

An unusual pose, now immortalised by your recording, good timing and a very clever capture.

There really is nothing to say now is there - the entire set of these I've seen is just really beyond simple comment - they are on another level Edster.

From my own PoV I hope your shutter collapses very soon and your cheese goes mouldy :biggrin: :jump:

I saw one do this last summer and thought it would make a great shot but figured it would be impossible to capture! So well done you!
Brilliant shot :toast:
