I had the experience of this year today. I have seen Bearded Tits before but never as close as today at Radipol RSPB. I got a couple of shots of these great birds.

Canon 7D, 500mm, 1.4x

Hi Rob,

Great shot, love these! Still tricky birds in the UK, I think you've made the most of the opportunity.

Cheers,

Lewis.

I though my bearded tit was good, I think this one is better. A lovely capture.

Hello Rob.

Cracking image and the perch fills the frame nicely.

For me I would remove the OOF grass head in the background.
