Long Tailed Tit

[Martyn...]

There is a massive flock of various members of the Tit family that roam the hedgerow along the path at Belvide, a large number of which are Long Tailed Tits ... this one stopped for a rest ... for a nano second

Nice sharp shot Martyn - in what looks like challenging lighting conditions

Just a touch Paul, biggest challenge was locating and snapping them, they were very mobile, part of a large flock of birds moving along the hedgerow, which included the Spotted Fly in my other thread, they did not stop still for long.

Right good capture, Martyn.
So difficult - these little fellows are perpetual motion.

Smashing capture Martyn.

Very good capture Martyn, particularly as you have kept all the tail in focus. I know to my cost that this is difficult to do with limited DOF. Good work

Lovely capture Martyn, that pose does not come along very often with the Ltt`s

Thanks John, I shall show some restraint on the grounds that my mother was from Worcester ... however it is fair to say that I do not look a day over eighty
