Crested Tit

[Ikinaa]

I shot this crested tit through a window from the house while the little guy/gal was sitting on a branch of the tree about 3 meters away. It was late in the afternoon, therefore light wasn't at its best...

20D with Canon 75-300 USM at 300 mm
f/8, 1/125, ISO 1600
about 2x digitally zoomed
applied neat-image, usm, levels and resizing for the web to 600 width

Nice capture - through a window too! We've seen a lot of tits here recently - but this is a nice one!

It might be because English isn't my mother language, but you surely got me on the wrong foot with this caption......:D

Good shot, though.
Thank you.

No prob ;)

English isn't my mother tongue either...

I looked the name of the bird up in a book, so ...

On the other side, I can't see how this specific part of the human anatomy could be crested and what that would mean.

and last but not least, I posted in

It was at my parents house... the windows are clean there ;)

The crested tit seems to be rather rare here too, because I havent' seen a lot of them... Mostly there are the blue/yellow (don't know the name) and black/white (don't know the name either, at least not in english)

Just kiddin', of course, would have been surprised if crested......
