Long-tailed Tit-Aegithalos caudatus
Hi Guys,

Not much time to go out and shoot as usual, but did want to share this Long-tailed Tit with you. A species that has been high on my wishlist for some time now!

Greetings,

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your comments!
The white reflection is light shining through the trees and it bothers me , so i removed it in this re-post.
Hope you like it better this way too.

Greetings,

Hi Jeroen,

This has to be one of the best long-tailed tit images that I have seen on here. Its a real achievement to get the whole bird in sharp focus and the composition is superb. Well done :toast:
