The first Long-tailed tit Aegithalos caudatus of the current season from The Coppice
I was up there and raring to go by 9.00am, but by 11.00am, I was ready to throw the towel in
The local forecast of sunny periods/white cloud, materialised into clear blue skies and very harsh sunlight.
Shadows and bright bits bouncing about all over the place.
Anyway, with a few minor adjustments, which put the background into shade. I decided to stick it out.
Good job I did, or I would have missed this beauty
Only just managed to fit him/her in the frame - Top RHC focal point
In fact, owt decent came between 11.15'ish & 2.30pm, when the sun was slowly drifting around to a South-westerly position

an excellent shot. Good light and detail well worth waiting in freezing wind .. what a beauty
no light here at all and nothing but blue tits and great tits at the feeder. Invested a fortune in niger seeds import from Britain and the locals couldn't care less!
A cracking shot of this delightful little bird, you've really excelled yourself tonight Adie
Well worth sticking it out, stunning photography Adrian.

Trev.
Sorry, seem to have missed this yesterday and so glad I looked back today. Wonderfully detailed image of this little charmer. We've been delighted to have quite a number attended the feeding stations in the garden over the past week when the weather was dire.
