Today I'd like to show you my brave friend the Birdy Bluetit. He has only one leg, although he is like any other of his friends - and soooo cute in this pose.

I already had him here in another position - take a look here.

Thanks for looking and enjoy the weekend ...

so cute!
I never knew before that those little Steiff birds were copies of a real bird -- I thought the colours were a fantasty!
I am quite delighted with this one: great composition

Hello Sabine,
How very cute but sad! I've seen other birds with only one leg and it is really amazing how they survive! Excellent capture from a nice POV and I like his pose.
TFS and regards, Ulla

What a brave little creature, Sabine!
It is particularly touching to see a crippled creature of the wild. God only knows what mishap caused that disability.
Lovely picture!
TFS.

Hello Sabine,
This is another example showing that birds' legs are not as important as wings. Sad, but this Blue Tit could survive even to produce young.
It's a fine close capture, a little soft but that's OK because I'm soft on birds! Nice comp and Bg.
TFS and best wishes, Ivan

Hi Sabine,
this is a nice fluffy bird with very nice colours; (Blue and yellow).
The detials are soft but good POV and conmpostion.
It will manage well with one leg, I often see birds like this.
Well done.

Hi Sabine,
Lovely shot of this fluffy blue tit.
The colors and point of view are superb.

Hallo Sabine,
ein süßes Wattebällchen zeigst Du uns hier. Die Bildkomposition ist sehr gut, auch sehr schöne Farben - ich hätte diesen Piepmatz gerne etwas schärfer dargestellt gesehen. Erstaunlich ist aber, dass so ein Vögelchen mit einem Bein durch den Winter gekommen ist. Darum ein tolles Dokument.
Danke für das schöne Foto.
Lieben Gruß aus dem Bürener Land.
Heinz

p.s.: das Schmetterlingshaus ist seit dem 3ten März wieder geöffnet.

The subject is really cute, Sabine.
I like very much the BG with the contrasting warm tones, and the light achieved.
The image is just a bit soft, but it really woths posting very much, the overall effect is beautiful.
Thanks and have a nice WE too.

Hi Sabine

Very Beautiful little Blue Tit But......

Are you pulling our legs by saying that it only has one leg? :-) LOL

Lots of birds rest on only one leg and then swap over. In fact am I the only person that can see its other claw keeping warm in the centre of its chest?

Mmmm not sure if a genuine mistake or you're having a little joke. LOL

No matter - excellent shot and lovely subject! Well done!

Hi Sabine, lovely bird in a very nice pose and splendid colors, have a great sunday, ciao Silvio

Hi Sabine

This is indeed a great thing to present us.
I must have missed your first shot about him, but i had a look now (thanks to your link) and i must say that i'm surprised to see he is so well with only one leg.
I actually like this shot better a bit simply because it appears more natural.
Even if the details are a little soft, the capture itself is great, showing very well his "misfortune".
The colors are charming and very well saturated, the pose is lovely and the catchlight in his eye is just terific.

Bravo and TFS
Horia

bonjour sabine
ce n'est pas la meilleure de tes photos mais le fait qu'elle n'ait qu'une patte meritait d'etre signalé.
bonne couleurs en revanche.

Hello Sabine,
Lovely little bird, soooo fluffy!
I hope you feed him as he'll probably have some more difficulties in finding food...
It is a wonder he has survived this long...
Greetings,
Pablo -

Hi Sabine,
Worthy post for its very different, one leg/foot showing & pose..
Makes you feel sympathy for this little beauty :)

Hello Wishnu
This little bird is so cute, his colours are gorgeous. Poor little him having only one leg, it must be so hard to land in a tree, I wish him well. This is a really nice portrait.
