Coal Tit
Taken at Yarner Wood, Dartmoor in Devon last week. Light was appalling and was trying out fill flash, although this wasn't using flash. It was just nice to be outside regardless of the weather!

Comments welcome

Nice view of one of my favourite little birds.

Shame the light precluded use of a slower aperture.

Regards

Erm? I think A.R.D. may have meant a faster shutter? Anyway nice shot but I'd have prefered the bird facing you more..

Nice shot of a enrgetic little bird.
Just find the BG to right of the branch a little distracting being red as apposed to the rest being green. Presumably thats how it was but think it would look better if you change it to all be the same. Hope you can see what I am getting at.

Nice one - and I know just how you feel about getting outside and taking ANYTHING!!!!
Anyhow your time wasn't wasted and you came away with a nice image - no nits from me.
