This was taken last weekend once again on a dull windy day. Hand held from the car with the window down. I hope the waeather will be better this weekend so i can go out with my macro lens.

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

Hi Nick.
Once more great bird shot from you. I am amazed with pictured scene. Dry branch, crisp sharp picture of the fine bird, so superb smooth and differently coloured BG are looked all together perfectly. Bravo. Excellent work.

Hello Nicholas,
Guess this one is thinking: "this is a big perch..."
Nicely done

Hi Nick,

A beautiful shot of this Tit from your car. I'm amazed at how many of you can stop on the road to take a picture - not something we can do here. I love the walking up the stump pose! Beautiful colors, details, background and composition.

Hello Nick,
The Great Tits are so pretty but as they're common one tends not to notice them! You've captured this one really well in a nice pose. Excellent focus, sharp details and natural colours. Well done.
TFS and I wish you a nice and sunny weekend, Ulla

Hello Nicholas !
This is such a great picture ! Wow ! I love the pose of the Great Titi, it looks curious and funny, and the diagoal composition is just perfect, and the blurred BG makes the bird stand out very nicely, and there are also many wonderful details. Very well done !
Valerie.

Great picture of the Tit. Colorful. Sharp. Good contrast.

You have had your share of lousy weather Nick, but I cannot tell by the image. the contrasts come out very well so you certainly had enough light or the settings quite correct eh?

Hello Nicholas,

Beautiful composition with a beautiful pose of the tit. Good POV and focus. Superb natural colours.
The weather is not very good also here. Not too much sun and where there is sun like today, it is too windy.
Cheers,

Hello Nick,
A nice shot of a juvenile Great Tit: I like the pose, POV and composition, the rotting wood pole being a fine part of it. Great lighting and sharpness too.
TFS this beauty: I'll be back in just under a couple of weeks' time.
