Marsh Tit II
40D, 300/4 + 1.4, Tripod + BH1
ISO640, 1/60 @ f8, manual exposure
C1 Pro4.5 + CS3 resize & sharpen

Hi,

Another Marsh Tit from my feeding station which I am going to have to redo when I get my car back from repairs, (the day after going to photograph the Folkstone Waxwings it broke rather badly and expensively) so have not been able to get out there to refill the feeders
:mad:

All the best

Cracking image, love the background and the positioning of the bird looking into the picture.

Nice shot, Phil. Cars are very under rated items of photograhic equipment, I am lost without mine. I hope yours is back soon.

I'm sure they will still be around when you get back to refilling the feeders............if you keep getting shots like this I'm going to take up basket weaving!

Gonna have to get me a perch like that! A super image Phil, lovely detail as always.

Sorry about your little car, hope it's soon on the mend! Would be lost without mine.

Hi Phil,

I'm very envious as I've been after these this past weekend but havn't got anything half as good as this.
A beautifully pin sharp result, really nice pose and I really like that right angled perch too.

Like it Phil, interesting textures on the perch :smile:

You managed to get one that was still for more than a split second..? Up to your usual high standards Phil and I look forward to seeing you back on the road again so we can meet up soon.

All the best..

Great picture.

2 questions what is a BH1 and how do you tell it is a marsh not a willow tit?
