This bird must be a croosbredding, between a Great Tit and I don't now, maybe a Blue Tit but I'm not sure they crossbreed. It act like a Great Tit but all the other Great Tits chase him away and he having a hard time by the feeder. I have seen him for over a week.

A beautiful little bird, whatever he is. Maybe it is a juvenile Great Tit. The less experienced, less dominant birds do generally get last turn at the feeder. Excellent detail and sharpness.

Very good. Great idea to post a LP on this. The head seems to be a little OOF(maybe it was moving and at 1/160...) but the details of the plumage are amazing.
Very well done.
Thank you, mb Gert.

Hi Gert, this little fellow must be a real confused little chap. He does look quite scruffy too as if his mother hasn't looked after him. Good sharpness and details - send him here and I'll look after him...

Hi Gert,
indeet a little funny and looking different to the other great tits. A bad hair day for this birdy. But excellent POV and sharpness.
I also had the luck to make a shot of a tit in this positon - perhaps I'll show it today.
Bye bye

Hello Gert!
Nice shot. I would also think it's simply a Great Tit but just having a bit different plumage.
Best greetings,
Michal

Hello Gert,
this is a very nice capture. Composition is great, great sharpness and good colours too. A good one, very well done. Thank you.

Hello Gert, how are you my friend, hope well.
I like very much the tight horizontal crop you made to this little fellow. As always a great clarity and perfect focus.
Thanks for sharing. Have a great week. Regards, Felipe.

Hi Gert!

Acrobatic pose, super cute bird, excellent quality! Another beautifull post!

Hi Gert,
I guess if he were a mammal, he would be the runt of the litter. Not sure what they call the smallest weakest bird in the nest. This poor little bird looks kinda scruffy. Your exposure on him looks great though. Beautiful saturated colors, and great detail in the plumage. Well done!

Hi Gert

Sorry, no time for a proper critique tonight, working from my notebook on an expensive internet connection, back to normal tomorrow, but enough time to see that this deserves a big green smiley. Thanks.

Beautifully sharp and crisp. Well done

Hi Gert, he looks a little ragged doesn't he? Lovely details and the composition is fantastic. Very well done.

Gert, this is colorful and beautiful.

Lovely saturation, pose and pov. The large version is... big and great.

Congratulations.
