Long Tailed Tit

[Ryewolf]

This is proving to be the most difficult bitd to photograph, out of the 150 or so shots this was the only one that has been in focus and it's on a feeding table. Not sure what it is about them the making them so difficult. But I'm determines to get a really good one. Before anyone asks about the bird table, yes it was crooked......

Well your patience is admirable Rye ... ...That looks pretty sharp to me !! Such  pretty birdsaren't they ... I   only ever have had  blurred images of them ...!

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Clicker, yes they are pretty. This is the only one I've managed either away from or on the feeders.

[Ryewolf]

Thanks Judy. Yes there's about half a dozen that arrive together, they usually go for the fat balls in the feeders and catching one on a branch on it's own and in focus is proving tricky. Luclily this picnic site is only a few miles away.

I think they are the hardest common British bird to photograph, because they are always on the move and frequently deep in the branches.

Best of luck with that lol...The only way I have managed it is to get an old log and stuff food in the cracks, that slows them down as they have to dig for the food and if your log is in a good position it doubles up as a good perch ...Good luck though, they move so bloomin fast lol

They certainly do move fast - the last time I went to this picnic area someone had done just that.
