Juv. Blue Tit

Here's some shots from this afternoon, the Juv. Blue Tits are by far my favourite.

I spent a good few hours hanging out of my conservatory window waiting for the Blue Tits to finally come down to the feeders, I have still only seen 2 so far though and still no Coal Tits.

I tried to get both birds together on the same branch, but whenever they got close to each other they decided to start a chase instead, until I put my camera away that is :) oh well I can keep trying.. Here's some of the pics I got.

Photos taken with Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm @ 420mm

Hope you liked the pics as much as I enjoyed taking them and fingers crossed more will show up eventually.

My next post will be back on the macro trail, i'm addicted...

Garden visits

I have had a few young visitors to the garden lately mainly Goldfinches.

Blue tits and Great tits have also been around but haven't come to the feeders until its too dark to get any shots of them.

We usually get Coaltits too, but so far I haven't seen any.

Here's a shot I got yesterday of a juvenile Goldfinch, we had two on and around the feeders along with two adult birds.

Here's a Great tit which also caught my eye and perched for a few seconds before disappearing into the trees again.

Fingers crossed I will get the Bluetits before they lose the yellow cuteness.
