[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This Great Tit was taken in the forest Two weeks ago. I dont see so many as the coal and Blue Tits. Although a bigger bird they are more timid .

Great Tit ( Parus Major ) Length 14cm. Common woodland and garden species. Appreciably larger than the Blue Tit which it is often seen with. Has bold black and white markings on its head and a black bib line running down its chest, larger in the Male than the Female. Underparts otherwise yellow and its upper parts mainle greenish. The young has sombre plummage with no white on the head. Feeds mainly on Insects in the summer months but eats seeds and nuts in the winter

How elegant is this tit, Nicholas, I had never seen one, it's beautiful with the black line crossing the chest like a tie! I am so found of those birds, the tit family, they are gracious, agile, friendly and so pretty. Many thanks for your great patience in your art,

Hi Nick,

Beautiful as always. Wonderful colors and fine details of this Great Tit. Face and plummage are gorgeous. I love the pose on the diagonal branch and the rich color of the background. An excellent composition.

Super blender of earth tones...almost pastel mixed in an artistic fashion Nick... You are indeed the bird man of England...

Hello Nicholas,

You have shown this nice tit in a very fine photo. I like the composition with the diagonaly placed perch that makes the image dynamic. As you have used fine the light colors looks very natural and the bird stays fine agains the nicely colored background.

Thank you for sharing,

Hello Nick,
Though we have them visiting the garden every day, I have yet to take a decent shot of a Great Tit.
You have made a fine capture of this female. The sharpness is amazing at 1/25 sec!. Nice composition, pose and POV too.
TFS and have a good Sunday.

Hi,
A good picture with a wonderful exposure , i feel the picture is not as sharp as ur other pictures may be the shake of holding that lens (BIGMA) has its part to play in that :-)
