Beautiful little birds. That's the first time I have seen a pic of a Punk Tit. He's a cutie. :)

Thanks all! :D

The crested tits were very tame. I sat down maybe 2 meters from the feeder, set up the tripod and 100-400, and it took only a couple of minutes when the first 'punk tit' arrived.

Also a great spotted woodpecker visited briefly the site, but he was too shy, hiding behind the trunk.
