Difficult (Parus major)

So sorry about the mess on the window, but it's all the fault of the birds of course!

I had a rare visit from a Great Tit, but when I saw what a mess the window was in, I nearly deleted it.

However, I saw something odd and looking more closely realised he has a very deformed bill.

This must make feeding really difficult.

That's some deformity. Doing well to feed itself. Also caught in a brilliant well focused shot Delia, well done.

Oh my D! That is really quite a deformity looking like a crossbill. A great moment to capture and sure glad you didn't trash it girl.
