This Great Tit seems to be going through a moult, it seemed happy enough though and still ate it's fair share of food.

It was taken through my living room window during summertime.

Not exactly petty but it's a terrific shot. How can he survive in this freezing temperature?

Thanks everyone

This was taken in Summertime Tim.

Geoff - this often happens to birds during the breeding season to the parents as I think it is because they do not have enough energy to regrow their feathers.

Good shot
