Coal Tit with Attitude
Canon 1D2n, 300mm f4 x2, 1/320s, f9, iso 400.

Laugh! There was nothing around in the hour I had free. I had downloaded some bird songs from radio four. The blurb that came with it said "if you have conifers in your garden, you will have coal tits". Within 20 seconds of playing it, this fellow landed in front of me, looked me in the eye and gave me a real raging! He flew off after half a minute and that was it for the day. It's a fair crop so lacks some detail.

Hi Ian

Nice pose, light and BG - the OOF FG twig is a little distracting!

He does have a cheeky glint :biggrin:
Yep needs some tidying up.

This one has certainly got a beady eye Ian. No doubt he had a lady in mind.
Pity about the OOF twigs. :toast:
