[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Blue Tit, Cyanistes caeruleus (often still Parus caeruleus), is a 10.5 to 12 cm long passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common resident breeder throughout temperate and subarctic Europe and western Asia in deciduous or mixed woodlands. It is a resident bird, i.e., most birds do not migrate.

The azure blue crown and dark blue line passing through the eye and encircling the white cheeks to the chin, give the Blue Tit a very distinctive appearance. The forehead, eyestreak, and a bar on the wing are also white. The nape, wings and tail are blue; the back is yellowish green; the under parts mostly sulphur-yellow with a dark line down the abdomen. The bill is black, the legs bluish grey, and the irides dark brown. The young are much yellower than the old birds.

Hi Arunas

You had lovely ambient light for this shot. The little Blue Tit has posed nicely for you. I also like very much, the branch it is standing on as there is textures and shapes well seen. :-)

Hi Arunas,
Well composed picture with the the bird being on the left and the horizontality of the branch. Beautiful colour-combination, the grey background suiting so well with the tit's colouration.
Best regards
