Fur Ball (Parus Montanus)

My Willow Tits look much more fluffy during the winter. It protects them from the cold I guess. The willows now land on my thumb and eat from my hand. Despite the cold their feet are warm. When I lay on the ground, they use both me and my camera as a perch! |^| I get no respect any more. |=)| The other species are not yet as brave as the willows.

They are the most brave of Tits. Photographing these little birds is like family happening. Lovely pic and description, Hansperchil. :clap:
 
A beautiful intimate portrait of a charming Willow Warbler, Hans Bertil. And it's touching to learn of the trust these little beauties have for you.
