[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 Blue Tit is a valuable destroyer of pests, though it has not an entirely clean sheet as a beneficial species. It is fond of young buds of various trees, and may pull them to bits in the hope of finding insects. No species, however, destroys more coccids and aphids, the worst foes of many plants. It takes leaf miner grubs and green tortrix moths. Seeds are eaten, as with all this family.

Hi Mark,
Nice picture with expressive pose and good details. The worm in his beak makes the difference. Light is a bit harsh but you manage it well.
Regards, Mario

Bardzo ciekawe zdjęcie, gratuluję refleksu

Excellent capture. You had to be very quick to get this shot as I dont imagine he posed for you :)

Focus is spot on, you have lost some detail on the black parts of the bird and the BG is a little distracting as it is so light. Playing with the levels/curves in PS might help with this.

Great capture though!
