Hi Phil,

Nice shot showing the bird in habitat. The light and colours look good.

It's stance looks mighty uncomfortable though

Regards

Rob

I see what Rob means about the stance! Nice colours, good sharpness - I would be inclined to go a bit tighter if you can keep the detail.

Excellent colour and sharpness indeed. The pose makes my eyes water though

Super shot Phil. I've never seen one of these and I really must make the effort - they are beautiful.

Top shot of one of Britain's hardest birds to photograph by my book - I'm always very envious of anyone who manages to capture a truly wild bearded tit in Britain

I think this would have worked better as a vertical.

Still an excellent capture, well done.

Hi Phil.
Excellent shot of this very difficult bird,the picture is great but the bird does look a bit uncomfortable still we can't tell them how to perch.
