Spent part of the day yesterday locally at Upton Warren's The Flashes in the hide by the feeders.
I was trying to photograph the Long Tail Tits but they were still to far off even with a 700mm doh!!!
So here's a Blue Tit that came a little closer
1dmk3
EF500mm F4IS + 1.4
ISO 800
F7.1
1/160sec
Raw
Capture One 4

Hi Kevin
I really like the puffed out appearance and raised head feathers!

Hi Kevin,
The very first thing that came to mind was – Mr Attitude! These birds are renowned for being aggressive – for me you’ve captured the essence of a blue tit – lovely, it really is!
A great fluff ball... didn't make Upton Warren when I was up there last year.. must make a note for this year....
good luck with the LTT's

Nice shot, they always remind me of bandits with that black mask over the eyes. that black band often spoils the shot by hiding the eyes, but not this one.
