Stopped my loading of Damsleflies tonight as the baby Blue Tits in the garden have come out of the nest box. Sunday the day they came out it rained all day and i was unable to take any photos of them. Managed to get this one on Monday. He is one of 4 babies.

Blue Tit ( Parus caeruleus ) Length 11-12 cm.
A familiar garden resident in most of mainland Britain and Ireland. Often coming to Bird feeders in winter months. A common woodland species as well. Has elements of blue-green and yellow plumage with striking dark markings on head. Young similar to adult but lacking blue in plumage. Nests in tree holes and readily takes to hole fronted nest boxes. In summer feeds mainly on insects.

Hi Nick

What a lovely capture of the Baby Blue Tit, its a beautiful composition and a great POV and pose with some excellent eye contact too, really nice feather detail and superb colours too.

TFS Hilary :o)

Very cute bird, I wish we had also Blue tit in Israel, but we have only the great tit...
Very good picture, though it is a bit crowded compo, I would open the frame a bit.
You could try to get this picture with higher aperture for more DOF.

Hi,
This a cluddly chubby chick. Its nice to know that you have a nest box. The picture is excellent and the colors are good

Ahh so sweet. I have a mother and a baby making visits to my garden but they come and go so quickly. I love the still fluffy feathers. Excellent POV, sharpness and composition

This is a beautiful little bird Nick that you capture nicely. I like those colors, patterns on its wings and this eye contact! I think that it could be sharper but this is a beautiful one anyway. Thanks,
