Eurasian Blue Tit

Eurasian Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)

Thanks for the comments on last Thursday's Red Kite. Yesterday (Saturday) the same bird, or another, was here. It was much higher up, allowing record shots only, but it's good to know they seem back after five years without one.

After all that excitement, back to normal with a Blue Tit.

Thank you for your comments, stay safe and well.
