Blue tits on feeder

Blue tits on feeder, originally uploaded by londonbluefish.

I think I'm getting better at photographing the birds that visit our garden. The light today was really good, with the sun illuminating the feeders.

The birds are so hungry at the moment that they'll come down within seconds of you standing still. I was able to stand in the garden (so not trying to shoot through glass) and snapped blue tits, great tits, a robin and a female house sparrow (you can see the complete set here).

I picked this snap of two blue tits on one of our feeders. The lower bird has already got hold of a seed, while the bird above is probably waiting for a turn where the food is.
