You understand I only have a minute or two? say's my new friend
Taken Today20th
Could not, NOT share this with you as this is the second time that I have had him/her or cousin on my hand, also visited last week and did exactly same just stayed long enough to have my small camera do these and a couple of others.

Please enjoy and if time put a balloon caption in for me as will leave mods open....am putting three versions on..to show...it really did happen!
I am sorry I have not been around as have been doing wedding photos from last Friday 13th...! and still processing, but am getting there.
Will be looking in at all your master pieces and playing catch up.

Thanks for looking

Know this is not sharp..it is for you to share my excitement and privledge of being so close to nature

I had this happen to me once. I was sat outside a cafe on Tresco, one of the Scilly Isles. I guessed the birds in such a remote place like that are more used to people than your average backyard birds?

Did get some photos at the time too...

Oh, they like Digestive biscuit crumbs too...

Oh Lillian, how absolutely lovely these images are - what a very special moment for you. I used to handle birds frequently as a child, always rescuing them when obviously in trouble or injured, and I can remember their touch. These images brought it all back. I love V2 with his beak open.

Lillian these shots are amazing. You must feel so 'chuffed' to get shots like these. What a wonderfully lucky thing to happen. I've never heard of Blue Tits getting so close. I truly envy you.
