Blue Tits (Cyanistes caeruleus) Scotland

[mikeyb]

These were taken from my hide against my new feeder setup which is working well and gives me a nice background and better setting for the birds. All taken with Canon 30D and Canon 100-400L IS.

Great set Mike. I've always thought of this bird as the Winston Churchill bird. :lol:

Looks like you have a nice setup with good results. Now if you send me some of those, I'll send you back some house sparrows. ;)

What a little personality! Love the face.

Some striking shots of a beautiful bird! The beak looks so small. What do these birds eat?

Very nice series...this is one cute little guy that you captured very well. Nice work.

Very nice shots Mikey.

You captured the personality perfectly. I'm going to set up a perch against a nice background this weekend to try and improve my shots.

It will be a miracle if I get anywhere near the quality of these.

You had some harsh light here, but managed to keep the brights in check - well done! The third shot is my favorite here...
