Hi Ulla,
I'm impressed by those cute birds and the way they build their nest. They have such nice name too! This is a beautiful capture with soft texture, nice details and catch-light. This is very nice and agreeable to look at! Thanks,

Hello Ulla,

I know, there have been many times when I have prayed for the wind to stop when I have been out with my camera!
However, you have done well to capture this wonderful house-builder, despite the weather.
This bird is new to me!
I do like its nest. The shape reminds me of baskets that were popular in the late 60's. You have recorded the details well.

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Ulla!
You are right, this species is a real master of nestbuilding! And here its "work" is perfectly presented. I like colours and POV, even if some leaves on the right side would be "deleted" :)
In the note - as always - there are many interesting details about species.
All the best from Lodz!
Friendly yours,

Hi Ulla,

How wonderful to have the opportunity to see a nest like this! And even better to be able to watch the Tit working on it. It must have been amazing watching him "sew" this together. To make it even more spectacular you captured him inside the nest. Fascinating notes and a wonderful picture.

Ulla,

I think your efforts to photograph this skillful builder paid off! This is an awesome, 'behavioral' shot. I think that this type of a picture is the hardest to get as human presence can make the animals stop their activities, whatever they might be. Of course, the mere location of the nest didn't help with photography as well. Overall, you've done very well here. Very nice note as well. TFS.

Best Regards,

Martin

Hello Ulla!

You're very lucky! Fantastic bird and its nest, too :-) Hard to capture, but you did it very well. Both bird and its house are very well visible and detailed. I like BG/FG made from fresh green leaves. Great work!
BTW - in Polish it is called 'remiz'

Hello Ulla, what an excellent shot of this Penduline Tit, in her nest. I've never seen a nest like this, or a bird either for that matter, so thanks for the introduction. Your timing for this shot was perfect to capture the bird, framed in the nest like this. Exposure and focus on the bird are excellent giving very worthwhile results.

Thanks, John

Merhaba Ulla,
En az kendileri kadar yaptıkları yuvaları da çok güzel olan bu kuşları henüz hiç görmedim. Fakat bu kareniz canlısını bize hiç aratmıyor. Oldukça güzel bir çalışma. Elinize sağlık.

Hello Ulla
that is one my favourite birds. I like them very much. Your Penduline capture excellent. Great details, composition and colors. I took hundreds photos of them. but I'd like to take when they construct their nests as like on yours. I remember Ivan sent similar post for one or two months ago. Congratulations and thanks for sharing
best wishes

With tele-converter attached to your camera, you captured a brilliant image of this cute bird, Ulla.
Both the subjects are complementary here and both are extremely well captured.
I am amazed at the weaving skills of this little fellow.
A delight to go back to this image I had missed.
Regards.
