I normally get (blurred) shots of them flying away when trying to get them on the feeder.

"Colours, sharpness, composition and great shutter speed make this a Brilliant shot"

Agree with everyones comments apart from the one about colour...it looks a bit on the yellow side to me.

Brill capture though.

Just a thought with regards to your comment about the colour, and bearing in mind where the OP is from.... I'm guessing that it's a 'hibernicus' coal tit... Periparus ater hibernicus.... hence the more yellow colour than we are used to seeing...
 
Wow! Simply wow, the detail and sharpness are fabulous! (y)
 
Thanks all for your comments glad most of you liked this one.

Reference the colour, at present im getting coal tits visiting that range from plain grey with white and black, to grey, yellow,white,black, and some grey, brown, white, black.

I have no idea to be honest why the variation of colours, maybe some younger some older, really no idea.

I do use a grey card to set the white balance of the raws before converting to jpg as I have always done so the colours should be correct rather than using auto white balance.

Cheers Gareth

Lol, not really....but, I can understand the comment about the colour, as, to be fair, I'm sure most will only have seen the standard grey/black,white ones...
It is a very good shot too....
