Blue Tit

By gtroop
This blue tit is a reworking of an earlier posting suggested by lonjonbla.

The image has been rotated 90 degrees to give it a bird of prey look. I know it not really a natural pose for a blue tit but I quite liked the result.

I like it ... but then I would!! Nice to see you are prepared to upload the unnatural pose. It looks quite amazing.

One word - STUNNING.
Congs on the HC it was well deserved.

I also wanted to say how much I appreciated the information you left on my "Coal Tit" image, it was a great help. Thanks.
