16th May 2012: This is one of the blue tits with a nest in an old poplar tree at the south end of the marsh. I can hear the chicks begging for food now and the parents are working double time to satisfy those appetites.
Yummy! :O) Such a GREAT shot.

Hi Mike – beautiful indeed. I love the puffy yellow chest. They look like our Wrentit’s out here. Are they related?

Thanks, Beedie. No, our blue tits are UK residents and have not been anywhere near Australia. 😉

Lovely bird. That first image has beautiful focus and I like how you’ve captured the caterpiller in the bird’s mouth.
