I was quite happy to find this little fella at the feeder in the forest today. I have not seen it for several years now. Sadly enough it was rather late so the light was bad. But I am glad I got some shots of it. :)

  2. The craft of bird photography is dependant on so many factors. Good light makes it easier but you seem to do alright without it. What a thrill to see a bird that has been missing from your area for years. Great story, great capture!

  4. That's a lovely little bird and the crest makes it looks so cute. I have difficulty with low-light photos too! Yours are good!

  9. Toppmeisa er en morsom fugl å få besøk av. Ser den ikke så ofte her heller. Flott blogg dette :)

  13. Tyvärr är de små sötnosarna på stark tillbakagång. Kolla i nacken på dem . De har en teckning som ser ut som ett ansikte som skrämmer iväg eventuella angripare.

  15. That Crested Tit has to be one of the cutest birds! Great shots of it. I really like the second one where the bird seems to be looking at you wondering what you're doing.
