Great Tit & Long Tailed Tit

One of my favourite birds is the Great Tit. I love the combination of black and yellow and the striking poses that this bird can take. This is one bird that does take the same route to the feeder each time, posing nicely on route for a photo!!

During one recent session I was really pleased to see a fourth member of the Tit Family in front of the hide. Unfortunately, this Long Tailed Tit took me completely by surprise, clinging to thee side of a log in an awkward position. I took just three photos, only one of which came out (sort of), before it flew off, and so far it has not returned!!
