Well, it is that time of year when I have the chance to set up my outdoor studio and photograph the garden birds. I set myself the challenge of getting one or two decent photos of a long-tailed tit. I have a small flock of them come to the fat balls about three times a day, so I set my perch up to one side of the fat ball feeder. As there are too many long-tail tits to fit on the feeder together, they have to queue. Within fifteen minutes of starting, I had my first decent shot and by lunch time I had two more - even better.



not bad for my first challenge.
