In a Whirl (Cyanistes caeruleus)

This is what happens when you try to photograph a Blue Tit that has come for a seed. He's off as soon as you get focused!!

I've never had it result in quite such a shot before. Recognisably still a Blue Tit though LOL

Saturday Fun

Sorry I was missing so much yesterday. Spent the whole morning, into lunch time, at the hospital while they checked and then made changes to my leg brace. Hopefully it will now result in less falls. I certainly feel a bit more stable.

Good to hear that you feel more comfortable after the adjustments of the leg brace, Delia!

Poor us birders, Delia. They do us this all the time.:rolleyes: Always good to have one of these for the record books. Fun shot!

I trust that you would be more comfortable and secure with the adjusted leg brace.
