LOL You bother because it's a challenge and you love every minute of it.
The Great Tit is so close to being a stunner. Are you using a tripod for these shots?
I know how you feel and at least CT et al give us something to aspire to!
Will try and get closer for mine as I can't afford the glass
I like them tho, the blue tit is really good, how far away were you.

CT - I'd never of accuse you of being an smart arse. You shots are simply superb and I guess that's because you invest the time and energy into planning your shots.
Thanks for the advice a new tripod is on it's way to me and will spend a lot of time in my garden this winter.
mmcp42 - sorry for hijacking your thread, although the advice is good for both of us!
As we're on the subject of getting close to birds. I thought I'd explain the setup recently established at me parents house. They have recently install a bird feeder, conveniently close to a purpose made hide, thats been sitting in the garden for a year or 2 now.
The following picture gives a brief display of the layout and the approximate location of where the bird feeder is ( as it was not setup at the time this photo was taken)
Do you think the birds will notice me?
dunno - which one's you? :nuts:
