Blue tits on a wet, dark evening.
7th May 2012:I had another try at photographing the blue tits this evening. By the time I arrived at the south end of the marsh, the light was fading fast. The sky was black, and it was raining. Still, I managed to get a few images, even if they are a bit grainy.
The house martins were there in force too, but they were conducting their speedy aerobatics over the standing water this time – making the ducks duck (I expect Dezra will have trouble getting her mind around this).
The coots have chicks! I haven’t seen any ducklings yet. I think the swans have a nest in a flooded wood next to the scrap yard. There was only one swan swimming about this evening.
I loved your earlier post about this bird…so glad that you posted more..LOVE , LOVE, LOVE it!
Thanks very much, Suzanne. 🙂
Thank you! I’m glad that you enjoy my images. 🙂
Like Suzanne, I love this bird too.
Great photos. I love the way you capture the wings in motion.
Thanks, Vicki. 🙂
Your perseverance is really paying off, Mike. I have a quirky passion for looking for “faces” in the most unusual places…did you happen to notice the face in the tree bark in the upper-right corner of your second photo (3300), looking down and over at your beautiful little bird?
Thanks, Gary. No, I didn’t notice the face. It might have been Vogel. 😉
I don’t see the face, Gary. Maybe you you should talk to a professional about seeing faces in unusual places – it worked for me! Ha! 😉
HAHA! You definitely got me on this one! I’m still laughing. Ducks duck. Sheesh. 🙂
Lovely photos also. I can get my mind around that, at least!
Thank you, Dezra. I’m gladyou understood. 🙂
wonderful images, the bird really stands out against the bright browns of the bark!
Thanks very much, Christine.:))
Brilliant shot of the birdie in flight!
Thank you, Fluffy. 🙂
