Hi Maggie,
Def a Coal Tit as Mark says, but very nice shot, just a shame there isn't more of a catch light in the eye. Comp is fine for me, detail, colour and bg are great!
Nice, agree about the catchlight, another small nit (again this is probably more personal preference) is that I would prefer a more delicate perch for this delicate bird.

It's a very nice Coal Tit, I'm just curious to know what you thought it was. I guess if the Coal Tit chose that perch he must have liked it.

A really nice shot. Very good muted colours.

Hello Maggie.
Nice capture of the Coal Tit and a super background to set it off.
Thanks everyone for your comments. Kim I thought it was a Marsh Tit. I had taken several images of them but must have deleted them as no good. Still thankfully the Coal Tits turned out alright

Hi Maggs- Marsh tit is usually confused with Willow tit - Marsh has a scruffy bib and Willow is quite neat and tidy
Nice comp and BG

Not sure about the composition but unfortunately had quite a lot of light blue at the top of the image.
