Here is another species taken at my feeder setup. There are two of them coming to feed and they are so quick that it was a bit of chalenge to get them. This is slightly cropped from sides to improve composition.

must be nice to have such pretty birds come to your feeders...I get nothing but pigeons and grackles...and an occasional blue jay...

Great shot. I made a feeder and used some of my RC plane parts to remotely fire the hiden camera. As of right now, nothing but a squirl. I tested on him and nice shot from it.. but would love to get something like this. Way to go.

Wonderful in all regards, Fero. The beauty is in the simplicity.

This is one of the commonest and yet one of the nicest passerine species in Europe. Your image does make justice to all their beauty.
I must confess I just love tits, blue, coal, mustached, crested, you name it...

The bird is very beautiful, Another idea is in another shot maybe remove the pine cone, looks it might be competing a little with such a nice subject.

Fero,

This is great. Absolutely fantastic! The cheek looks like it could be bordering on hot (may just be my laptop too) but it doesn't really bother me much. This is simply beautiful.

one of the best blue tit shots, ever posted on this site! (btw, was this taken on a holiday in Europe, as I see you're based in Canada?)

Thank you all, I am very happy that you like it. It took a lot of preparation, I have a feeder in wild not in a backyard. Everytime I come there I setup a portable blind ans spend there whole morning. Herman, I moved to Slovakia, my home country in May so you may expect more European species in future. I must also say that the photo is 50% result of NSN, I learned a lot here.
