Good capture Kevin :toast:

I suspect, on a serious note, this wee one isn't too well :frown:

Great capture! He maybe isn't too well, but he's a lot better that the one that flew into my bedroom window this morning :wink:

What a scruffbag (nice image though). Which hide was this? I have always found Upton Warren to be very difficult - I have had most success in the first one with the bird feeders past the sailing club (including my one (poor!) LTT image.

Looks like the poor thing has just come out of the tumble drier. Good shot though Kevin.

Thanks for all the comments. I didn't consider that the guy mite not be to well. It was a very windy day and he was back and forth to the feeders.
Gary, it was taken before the 2nd hide which is where the feeders are.

He might just be on his way home after a night on the tiles. He seems to be standing tall and not too hunched up. I guess even blue tits can be under the weather without clocking off for good?
Nice shot.
