That's a beauty Bill. So nicely composed and sharp as a tack.

That's amazing photo.
Interesting. Doesn't look as though it has enough room for lift off.
Never thought about it until I saw this photo but they nest or roost in places where it looks tight.
Amazing birds.
Rather unique (for me) photo.

Thank you very much, Richard!

The standard of the shots being posted here is just superb. I can't possibly compete. Poor light and intermittent rain made for a very frustrating day out the other day, Nothing was very sharp, but I managed to get one or two shots. Here's a Great Tit.

Ya no kidding.. I was going through the last couple months and this is fall leaves... there was a string of 10 or 12 and they all look the same ...

Advantage of 10 frames Second of the 7DII... 200,000 images you've never seen to find at a later date.
