Hi,

I'm sure most of us have been there, sat all day at the feeders and pressed the button 10 times at the most :confused: ,

Anyway this Great Tit decided to pose on a perch that I hadn't introduced to the set up properly, hence the light was a bit dappled and the perch hadn't been set up to best advantage.

All the best

Phil

Sounds a very frustrating day Phil!

Still, a nice result with this Great Tit - good work with the exposure too, they can be awkward little things!

Hi Phil

If you get one good shot out of the day, it's got to have been worth it and from where I am sitting you didn't waste your time!

Certainly time well spent - a superb image well composed, exposed and presented.

Well I wish every 10 presses of MY shutter button would produce something like this :rolleyes:

Very nice Phil as usual. Love the pose and BG

Hi Phil, very nice shot of the bird, and in particular I like your choice of perch :toast:

Lovely image Phil, you only need to press the shutter once and get an image like this to have made a success of the day. Love all the complementary yellowy-green colours in the image.

Regards
