Hi all

Had a great morning yesterday photographing these chappies. They really are a great diversion while I'm being messed around by the Reed Warblers (damn it they're tricky!).
A few more on my blog, including a run-in with a gorgeous Bearded Tit - such a treat to be close to.

Good stuff.

Nice habitat type shot in a way. Background is a great colour too.

I agree with John, a beautiful exercise in brown that leads the eye straight to the singing bird.

Great enviro shot. The clean background really sets the bird off well. No nits from me.

Not got near these yet

No nits from me either. A superb image with some very nice light. The b/g compliments him beautifully.
