Baby Great Tit

Apparently I now have some kind of Pavlovian reaction to the sound of tweeting. Every time I hear a bird, I grab the camera.

This one was snapped through the window, with the 200mm lens. (Hence the distance and the graininess.) Still cute though!

It’s a baby Great Tit. They fledged last week, in the pouring rain, but the parents are still bringing them food whenever they TWEET LIKE MANIACS. Which is quite a lot of the time, it has to be said.

The BBC programme Springwatch have an official Flickr group where you can upload your spring-related pictures. I’ve sent in some of my birds. There are some truly amazing photos there – all of which are only reinforcing my desire for a bigger lens!
