Great Tit

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

Super portrait of this patient Great Tit, Delia! Always great to come across birds as tolerant as this one.

Awwww, what a charmer |=)| And a lovely shot you got in spite of the low light (just guessing the light was low, given the high ISO setting). Well done :clap: :clap:
