Hi,
I noticed this long tailed tits nest a few weeks ago. I feel uncomfortable photographing nests so just did a quick snap.

He certainly looks extremely cosy in there.What a clever and well constructed nest these clever birds build.

Hi Tim

I'm sure with this species no harm was done and I really like the image!

Nice shot Tim, looks really cosy. It's funny i was only reading about the nests that the long tailed tit builds a few days ago, amazing piece of construction really they expand as the birds grow....... And we make the millenium dome :rolleyes: .

Great shot

Stewart...... :jump:

Tim,

A very pleasing shot. I'm yet to see one of their nest but the LTT is prob my fave visiter to the garden unfortunately visits a few and far between.

Hi Tim,

Very nice indeed and a refreshing change from the normal LTT images, I'm sure this would be a very marketable image.

Regards

Rob
