I think this little fellow the Great Tit was watching the woodpecker that came to my feeder yesterday and probably trying out a peck at the wood.

Certainly, it was taken with my 20D, 100-400 mm lens at the full focal length, 200 ISO and 1.100 speed in the AV mode at 5.6. The lens balanced on a cushion on the window frame of the house at about 20 feet away.

Thanks to all for your kind comments.

Hope he didn't hurt his beak trying to be a woodpecker. Putting on my (non-expert) Bird hat for a moment, I love the muted colours but how he still stands out.


Just returned after many years hiatus from this forum. I was a bit of a prat before, if I ever offended you, I'm sorry

I've got all the equipment I need, now I just need inspiration :D

Nice shot. Small birds and hummers around here are known to use sapsucker and woodpecker holes to drink the sap that collects and eat the bugs caught in the sap. That might be what he was up to. ;)
