Thanks Marian! The willows feels like the "original tit" from which the others have evolved. The siberian tit is almost identical to the willow. And the willow seems most adapted for a life in the forest. They can move both like a snow flake and a bullit (if chased by a sparrow hawk). Amazing birds - and the toughest of the tits as well!

Two super Tit shots in your lovely forest Hans, I love them both, but not as much as you love this tiny Willow. Hazel and I had a Robin eat from both of our hands a couple of weeks ago, and the gentleness of the little bird was simply amazing, an experience of a lifetime.

Looks like you also have some tender feelings for that Willow, Hans. I have always thought that they feel that nuts in the pocket must be better than those I have left them to eat. They are birds that have a certain place in every persons heart who has a closer contact to them.

You have made great justice to this beauty. Love it. :clap:
