Thank you so very much for your notes. How interesting that they lay so many eggs and can feed on small bats in the winter! Will they stay in your garden or move on?

Your capture is good. Just a little soft in detail but showing excellent colors ..nothing over saturated. Light is strong and I like it this way...reaching into the brush enough to light and separate the colors on this lovely bird. You captured the feet very nicely as well! Does it have a distinctive call like the Chickadee? An excellent capture in it's natural habitat. Thank you for sharing and again..for the excellent notes!

Comment from Dick Lee Shia
Witty title.
A cute & candid capture!!
Great story telling factor.
Diffused focusing.
Fine features & textures.
Ideal framing.
I guess this needs a little saturation to bring out deeper tones--just a bit.
Nice perspective & narrow DOF.

Thanks for sharing...

Dickson,
Thanks a million for your complementary review on this pair of Great Tits in the Fuchsia bush. The colours are correct.
