Here are a few shot of the Coal Tit I managed to get, hope you like them.

For all the Tit family click HERE and click into the images.
This one was a bit more of a surprise I haven't seen these in my garden for a year or so and it landed just before I was about to put fresh food out so it might not come back, fingers crossed it will.

All photos taken 14/09/2008 with Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm.
Your shots are just beautiful and all I can say about that that one is... awwwwwww! :-) I hope it comes back too.
ReplyDeleteAll perfect as usual.
ReplyDeleteOh Mike - these are fantastic! I'm in awe how you get close enough to shot these!
ReplyDeleteBravo!
Cheers, Klaus
Every time I look at the coal tit and how much it is like the chickadee, I wonder why it would evolve that white stripe on its head?? It is such a cute little bird, but that long tail is even cuter! Again....why would it want such a long tail?? Your photos are wonderful and so detailed. I hope they come back so we can enjoy even more!
ReplyDeleteI have never seen those long-tailed tits before. What beauties. The other ones look like our Carolina Chickadees. They are such endearing birds. They visit our feeders regularly. Beautiful pictures Mike.
ReplyDeleteWhat can I say other than FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteI'll be back to visit your blog again for sure.
Gorgeous Mike ! I never got to see one of those while I was still living in England.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone comments are always appreciated.
ReplyDeleteKlaus according to my camera I am 2.5 mtrs away, got a good hiding spec ;)
Hi Mike,
ReplyDeleteFantastic pics as usual. We get Coal and Long-tailed tits in our garden too. They are very active, and they seem to visit in large flocks too.
What a beautiful little bird this Long-tailed Tit is! It looks like it could be a little toy with its very sweet and friendly look about it. Nice photos.

These looks like our US black-capped chickadees in the top shots...
ReplyDeleteI always love the stunning detail of the birds' plumage in your photos and these are no exception. Long-tailed tits are amongst my favourites.
