![Gold Star Critiquer/Silver Workshop Editor/Gold Note Writer [C: 483 W: 41 N: 618]](http://i1.treknature.com/misc/g-s-g.gif) (1706) | At long last my desk is cleared once again, the sun was shining and Milloup and I set off with the new toy, the 500mm Tamron. We saw loads of birds on our way, and I even saw one single "flutter by", but it didn't stop to have its picture taken. This little fellow was captured on the way back at the spot where Mogens and I have set up a feeding station for tits and friends. Birdie only made a very brief appearance, and I only got two shots in. Fortunately, both were sharp, but in the other the head is turned away. I would have liked him/her to have a catchlight in the eye, but no such luck..
The Long-tailed Tits , Aegithalos caudatus, are a small group of tiny passerines found mostly in Palearctic Eurasia but with a single species in western North America and another isolated in the mountains of Java. They move actively through trees and bushes in little family groups, and if you have any tinge of anthropomorphism in you, you'll think they are "cute." On a brief visit to mid elevations in the Indian Himalayas we thought the little flocks of Black-throated Tit (left in a stunning shot by Ron Saldino) to be just adorable. This family is closely related to the tits, titmice, and chickadees [Paridae] and although they often occur together in the same general habitat, the closely knit family units of the Aegithalidae tend to forage most often in single species groups. Five of the 8 species are primarily birds of the Himalayas or the mountains of China but some are pine-forest birds (like Black-throated Tit) while others specialize on juniper, birch, or oaks. source.

Hi, Bente.
Here, I used the Blur Tool only on the background, in order to get rid of some noise. By doing so, the bird remains "untouched".
I hope you like it.
Best regards.
