[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is my second post of this Blue Tit which I apologise for but I did like the way he is using his foot to hold the blossom whilst he feeds from it.
Im not sure exactly what he is eating in there (maybe someone does? are you out there Ivan?!!) but he was so intent on his feast he let me watch him about 10 minutes and wasnt put off by my presence.

I have cropped about 1/3rd of the image to remove the tangle of branches that he was amongst.

Hi Billy. Not to sure what the Blue tit would find other than a fly . It may be after the nectar from the flower. Any way it let you get a good close up. Which you have taken with fine detail and natural colours in the fethers. With good use of the light. well done TFS.

Hi Billy,

This is such a delightful capture of the Blue Tit stopping to smell the flower. I, too, love how he is holding it with his foot. There must be something good in there! A wonderful close-up showing off his lovely colors, face, and feathers in fine detail. I bet it was wonderful being able to watch him for so long and to get such a great shot of him in action.
