That's got to be the cheekiest ever face, hasn't it!!! What a lovely picture of this beautiful little tit.

It is so strange, I was editing the Opus article yesterday, and there hadn't been a picture come in for this species for around 2 years... and this one is the third today!!!

Thanks Delia~ Yes they are breeding in HK atm which makes them easier to see, this will explain that all 3 shots are from HK!
