Great Tit
delia todd

Great Tit (Parus major)

As I left the hide, I spotted this Great Tit on the feeder at the end of the board walk. A bit dark but I started snapping and inching closer as i did so.

He very kindly sat there for a while, allowing me to try different shutter speeds... this was where I finished.

Shutter Priority settings
f/5.6
1/400 sec
ISO 1600
Exp bias 0
Focal length 107mm
Max aperture 3
Metering mode Pattern

The other speeds I tried were 1/100> 1/58> 1/120> 1/640

Why can't all birds sit like that for you LOL
