Awe, that's so cute and such a great capture.

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Hilary :-)

Debbie, thank you. I spent about 10 minutes under the bush these were feeding on. I took loads of shots, and each time the shutter fired, they'd stop, and give that curious look. A great moment in the company of these delightful little birds.

Thanks Adrian.

Thanks Grace. :-)

JM, thank you.

Rohrerbot, thank you.

Thanks Robin.

Laura, thank you :-)

This is a beautiful shot, Keith. You must have lots of patience to go with your skill. Hope you have a nice relaxing week ahead after all the work-related stress recently.

Andrew said...

A wonderful image Keith... I had a nice day at the Birdfair. Seeing Ospreys at Rutland Water made it a well worth the trip.

Sallie (FullTime-Life) said...

I love these blue tits (a bird we never see) -- this one has personality!

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Linda. Always got patience for these little things. :-)

Thanks Andrew.
I'd love to get there for next year. Glad you enjoyed it.

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Sallie. Yea, they're lovely little birds.

Dominic Gendron said...

Lovelly, never saw an image of a juvenille...thanks ;)

holdingmoments said...

Thanks Dominic.

Bobbster said...

Superb image Keith, I would be tempted to crop out the right hand leaves to give it more impact though? Just my thoughts still a lovely shot.

Gail Dixon (Louisiana Belle) said...

Beautiful bird! Excellent photograph.

holdingmoments said...

Cheers Bob.
I did think of cloning them out initially, but decided not to. I felt that the other two bits of green, (left and above), made a good triangle; plus these leaves held the bird in the frame.
I could be wrong though lol

Thanks Gail :-)

Jeremy said...
