hi,
today i start a serie of this funny bird.

Behavior: rarely observed only, the bleu tit crosses the main part of its life within a family group. This last one can count 3 or 4 members at the beginning of the season of nesting and until 20 or more after this one, in autumn and in winter. The more important groups include several families. The members of the group defend (forbid) a territory as well during the nesting as in winter to feed there and sleep there.
Although it roams çà and there through wood and along hedges(hurdles) in winter to look its food there, the bleu tit ventures only rarely far off and stays during years in the same sector. During their ceaseless collection of provisioning, bands are often accompanied by real tits, kinglets and other youngs passerine foresters.
The sociable customs of the bleu tit allow her to survive in winter. By squeezing up some against the others along a branch, ruffled plumage, this oiselets lose so not enough heat as possible

Bonjour Gaetan,
What a fine shot of the continental ssp of the Long-tailed Tit, a difficult species to photograph. You have captured it well with fine sharpness, composition and lighting in a natural environment.
Well done and TFS!

Hello Gaetan,
Lovely capture of this Long-tailed Tit, a bird which is not easy to photograph. You call it funny and I suppose it is as it looks like a round ball with a long tail! Nice light and sharp details and beautiful colours makes this a really nice composition.
TFS and regards, Ulla

bonjour Gaetan

Hi Gaetan,

Nice shot of this little chap, you've done well to isolate him from amongst the many branches and he is well composed in the frame. Image is clear and good detail visible. Possibly use of a wider aperture would reduce the prominence of the branches in the FG an BG.

Cheers for this
Simon

Bonjour Gaétan,
C'est un oiseau superbe que nous n'avons malheureusement pas ici. J'aime bien cette composition et il n'est pas évident de bien le cadrer avec cette longue queue. Les détails et l'exposition sont très bons aussi. J'aime bien cette petite lumière dans son oeil, bravo!

Bonjour Gaetan, je préfère celle ci la position de l'oiseau permet une meilleur approche visuelle de la tête. La composition est réussie et le GB ne gâche rien!! mes félicitations, Didier.

Hi Gaetan,
I like your cute little bird a lot and the picture is sharp and well composed (pity with the branches but also more natural - c'est la nature...) with a pleasantly soft background. Thank you for a nice presentation and a good note!
With best regards,
Goran

Hello Gaetan
A cute little bird you've captured here. A nice pose as he stands on the branch doing his daily business. Nice detail, lighting and composition. Well framed and good note.
