Great Tit..

Great Tit..
One from a garden set-up. Feeders on the washing line and a stick on the approach.. Wait in the freezing cold chair hide for a couple of hours and lots of hope..

Funny thing happened through: Whilst I was taking this shot a GSW landed on the prop for the washing line and because it was metal it just slid down the pole and frightened itself.. Needless to say I didn't manage to get a shot of that, but laughed a lot..!

Cheers,

Brett :cool:

Very nice image Brett, lots of detail on show & I do like how the bird is in line with the perch.
Good one :smile:

Hello Brett.

Excellnt portrait.

Like the way it fills the vertical composition with just the right amount of room around the Great Tit.
