What I was left with SF

I was trying to take a picture of one of the tits (long-tailed variety too!!) when, just as I focused and pressed the shutter button.... all I was left with was this pretty lichen.

So that's my Saturday Fun entry today... at least it was in focus LOL. The tit had been perched on the lower twig.

I'm not sure, but googling, this could be something like Monk’s Hood Lichen?
