Hello everyone
As always thanks to all of those who commented and voted on my previous image.

As some of you know, I'm not really into taking shots of small birds, however, over the past few weeks I've been commenting and voting on other members uploads of Blue Tits.

Of all the small birds the Blue Tit is my absolute favourite...
We had been to Arundel WWT on Easter Sunday and while sitting in one of the hides I noticed quite a few Blue Tits flying about but hadn't botherd to take any shots...
Yesterday, the weather was due to be glorious at Arundel WWT, so Paul and I decided to return for the afternoon, but this time I was on a mission....

We went straight to the hide and this image is the result, at last I have a Blue Tit of my own to add to my PF and I'm chuffed to bits...LOL

I do hope you like it as much as I do.
Gill

Superb Image Gilly and I am glad the day paid off for you. The detail on this is fantastic and I really like the pose too. How much did you pay him to do this?

Thanks everyone, for your wonderful comments, I might be tempted to upload a different little bird tonight, as on the way home from Arundel, we called into Pulborough Brooks...
It was great to log on this morning to see that I had at least reached the magic 30...LOL
