I had set myself the target of getting some Long Tailed Tit photos this weekend but the wind was so strong that not one of the shots was sharp enough to warrant keeping. I did manage to catch this little Coal Tit at the feeders.

RObert
very nice. Good to see the cheeks not blown and head detail too.
As a nit pick I would have tried for a teeny bit more on the right- getting the bird over to the left and up a bit, but no big deal.
Cheers
