I captured this lovely Blue Tit (Parus caeruleus) in some shrubs amongst the ruins of Ephesus in February.

The Blue Tit is a common bird through most of Europe and also in western north Africa, with some birds from northern Europe migrating south during severe winters.

This species appears frequently on the TN pages, but it’s the first one I have photographed, so I thought I’d share this Turkish delight.

Merhaba Chris!
Fotolarından anladığım kadarıyla, galiba şu an benim yaşadığım ülkede bulunuyorsun. Öncelikle hoşgeldiniz diyorum. Koleksiyonunuza bizim ülkeden de kareler eklemeniz ve paylaşmanız çok güzel. Bu kare ise gerçekten çok başarılı. Yerinde bir an bile durmayan bu güzeli çok başarılı kaydetmişsin.
Tebrikler.

Hi Chris,

Excellent sharpness and great light in this capture. The branch on the left is a bit disturbing but for the rest well done.

regards,
Zeno.

that is a lovely capture of the cute blue tit! :-) the warm light and the colors are really great, the sharpness and
the pose very nice, just the branches on the left distract a little, but that is no problem with photoshop.
good job & best wishes, thor.

Hello Chris
Nice capture. I like it.

Glad to know you were in Turkey, Chris. Wanted to go there from the Middle East but could never make it. Darned life and its limitations!
I can understand your glee at being able to shoot this bird native to Europe. I would have felt the same way. Tried to shoot the Great Tit in the hills in Feb but never got a decent shot, all due to my lack of a good long lens. The bird never allowed me to get close.
This, on the other hand, is a brilliant shot, and that blue sky behind the bird makes it all the more charming.
Regards.

Hallo Chris
This is a great photo with details clearly visible and well displayed. Great focus, sharpness and framing. Image presented in a superb manner. This is a very nice shot of a beautiful bird that I have seen many times before but never stop to amaze me for its beauty. The colours and patterns on the plumage are really a special selection. Thanks for sharing. Kind regards
