Simple but pleasing shot of one of the handful of Blue Tits that regularly visit the garden. Despite their small size, they pretty much boss everything else around the feeders, thinking nothing of kicking Starlings off the feeders.
The image shows up well the striking plumage on the Blue Tit's head. Interestingly, like all birds blue tits can see in the ultra-violet range of light – the front of their head glows brightly under UV light, and this is how females are thought to choose their partners.
