[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
I watched this Blue Tit for about 10 minutes today whilst he was feeding on the blossom of the tree he is shown in.
Focus was difficult to achieve as he was amongst a tangle of branches and there was also another hedge between us!

I have cropped by about a 1/3rd of the original to remove some of the branches.

You did crop this picture perfectly, leaving enough branches for the speck of colour against the blue sky. This blue tit is beautiful, I love the tiny feathers fluffed by some wind or movement. Thank you, unusual and beautiful pov,

Hi Billy,

I love this shot of the little Blue Tit with the blowing feathers. Colors and details of the face and plumage are excellent. A wonderful pose on the branches with the flowers framing the bird so nicely. Superb background and setting.
