The LTT's have been rather elusive of late but I managed to get half a dozen shots today. They are always on the move and don't stay still for long!

Sounds so much like our chickadees! You did very well here getting a very nice shot in what looks to be rather harsh lighting conditions.

That is one very long tail...

Nice detail, framing and eye contact. Light does look a bit harsh.

Sounds like this is a tough shot for the species ...
Well done, Clive!
Would probably exposed for less.

What a cute little bird that lives up to its name. I like the diagonals in this image, the way you have it composed with the tail going to one corner and the perch cutting through the opposite.
