[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Hello my friends,
In this week, I have been away from TN, again. It was a busy week for me. Therefore, I dont post a new shot, but you will see a photograph from early November, which belongs to third tit species from marvellous day in Sertavul Pass. I already told its short story in my previous post.
One of them is Parus ater Linnaeus, 1758 - Çam Baştankarası [TR], Coal Tit [EN]. It is also called as Periparus ater in some literature.
Five species of the family Paridae range in Turkiye. All of them belongs to the genus Parus Linnaeus, 1758. These are;
..… Parus palustris Linnaeus, 1758 – Kayın Baştankarası (Marsh Tit) (syn. Poecile palustris),
..… Parus lugubris Temminck, 1820 – Akyanaklı Baştankara (Sombre Tit) (syn. Poecile lugubris),
..… Parus ater Linnaeus, 1758 – Çam baştankarası (Coal Tit) (syn. Periparus ater),
..… Parus caeruleus Linnaeus, 1758 – Mavi Baştankara (Blue Tit) (syn. Cyanistes caeruleus),
..… Parus major Linnaeus, 1758 – Büyük Baştankara (Great Tit).


My previous posts for P. ater, P. caeruleus and P. lugubris (photo I, II) can be seen by clicking the links.

These are first experiences for me with Nikon D300 and 300-800 mm lens-like monster of Sigma.
My special thanks to Kürşat Akın (kursatt) for his kind hospitality, equipment and setting the shot for TN.

Hi Ahmet,

You have captured more than a picture of this little bird - you have captured his personality. That is something that doesn't happen often enough. The stance on the branch and the position of the body all say something about who he is. Beautiful colors, fine details, and wonderful blowing feathers. I love the background and the diagonal composition.

Hello Ahmet,

This is a fine portret of the bird. You have shown the bird in great sarpness from a fine POV. Good details of the plumage can be observed. The sharp image of the bird stays nice against the blurry background.

Thank you for sharing,

Hi Ahmet.
What a monster you have used to take this picture (I mean Sigma 300-800 mm). I am impressed a lot. Very cute, perfectly composed diagonal composition of a nice bird and so attractive dry twig. Nice details and superb exposure of the image/ I also like natural colours of the scene. TFS and best wishes.

Hi Ahmet,
This looks so very different to the Coal Tit that Gert (ellis45) posted. You wouldn't think it was the same bird. Amazing what difference a different POV,pose (and possibly climate) can make.
Nice capture.
