These small common british birds look stunning during the winter when they are in full breeding plumage ready for the spring. They are so colourful and energetic, always on the move and never staying still for very long. I always find these birds a bit of a challenge to photograph, even though they are used to people and will allow you to get quite close.
This photograph of a blue tit on a branch was taken just before it flew across to a nearby peanut feeder. I particularly like the angle of view showing the top of its back and tail, while the head is at a nice angle.
Another winner Nigel… and a coincidence, as I have been working on a Blue Tit painting today! Thanks to you Nigel as well, I too now have a site on RedBubble, they are a great place to get affordable prints, thanks.
Thank you Roger! Yes, actually I was going to suggest to you to give RedBubble a go. I’ve just been on there a few weeks and I’m really enjoying the feedback and inspiration from fellow artists.
Very beautiful!
Thank you for the comment Sukanya!
