Trying to be a cage bird

[Fangman]

This greedy little Long Tailed Tit decided that it would be better to get into the feeder rather than hang on the outside.

It had a struggle to get back out so I can't see it repeating this trick.

The more usual approach to lunch.

Nice pics but a little more DoF would have improved the shots.

You should bring some of your Highland light down south! They tend to feed late afternoon and f2.8 often is needed plus fill-in flash to get an exposure of 1/200 which I find is the minimum for these constantly moving little critters. These are almost at the minimum focal point of the lens . . . possibly less than 6ft away.
