Wow Excellent shots Roy!

KAC

Great series Roy...that third shot is excellent!

Nice series here Roy. I may be heading over there this summer if things go well. Hopefully I'll add some more species to my list list.

Nice set Roy, love the Blue tit, great detail.

Superb shots Roy, the young Blue tit is a wonderful shot!

Nice series.

Super shots roy. Are you sure the blue tit is a juvenile, and not just a very worn down adult, because i've seen adults get very scruffy, and there doesnt seem to be any little yellow patch on its beak. Im probably wrong, just a thought.

I had the same thoughts as Steve regarding the Blue Tit shot. There is no sign of the yellow bit at the ends of the beak. Anyway excellent shots, especially the Blue Tit and the Whitethroat.

Yep, you could be right, strange that this one looked so bedraggled as it was a fine afternoon when the shot was taken, could have just had a bath somewhere I guess. I have now changed the title for the blue tit shot.

Thanks for looking and commenting on this series folks - much appreciated.

Nice set...that is certainly the most bedraggled and ratty-looking Blue-tit I've ever seen...
