I think this is a Marsh Tit (Parus palustris). I am not sure though...

The story of this shot is very funny for me:
I was walking in a thick beech (fagus orientalis) forest on the first day of 2008. I suddenly heard the sound of a woodpecker and tryed to follow it and capture the woodpecker which turned out to be an almost impossible job. The bird was always too far away from me and I could only take shots where one can barely see the bird.

But again suddenly, I heard the tapping noise of the woodpecker right above my head. I got excited and thought that it was a perfect opportunity, a woodpecker should be right above me. Guess what I saw when I lifted up my eyes? This little fellow was so playfully tapping on the branches and making the noise. Is it a normal behavior for tits or was she (or he) imitating the woodpecker? I don't know but it made me laugh, and she (or he) posed nicely.

Hope you like it.

Hi Sayat.
Pictured scene is very nice. Only subject is too difficult for shooting. It is so contrast. That is why the image of the tit is under exposed and bit. However, composition, POV, details and colours are very good. My best wishes and TFS.
Alexei.
