Young tit....

[Adi7r]

A long-tailed one

On my lunch break, sat in the car, camera on my lap and this fledgling appeared about 1.5-2m metres away, for about a 1-2secs before it flew off. Only managed four shots, this one being the only keeper. First time I'd ever seen a young LTT apart from on TV.

Thanks for looking.

It just goes to show you what you'd miss if you don't take your camera!

Great shot, especially as it's a grab shot! I'd say you've got it spot on, but he does seem to be leaning over to the left - maybe he was, but it might look even better if you straighten him up!

Well done, and thanks for posting. All the best, Mike.

Cheers Mike, he/she was leaning to the left, it flew off after this shot.

He definately wins on cute appeal...

For a quick opportunistic shot you have a very nice catchlight in the eye.

Re: Young tit....

Cute!!
It looks like something from a cartoon.
I was reading recently that only 17% of LTT nests produce fledglings!!

Re: Young tit....

Thanks Gary, I managed to get a lot of shots just by taking my camera with me when I go anywhere in the car.
Cheers Joanne, they've got to be one of the cutest birds, especially the fledglings.
