stunning light ..........

There is in my opinion no such thing as perfection and I am the first to admit that the composition of this image and pose of this Long Tailed Tit leave a lot to be desired ..... it just would not turn its head around to face the camera, and then it was gone.

But the intensity and angle of the light on the birds breast and under its tail I really like a lot.

I also like the overall focus from the birds head to the tip of its tail.

Long Tailed Tits really are superb subjects, generally very tolerant of humans and they offer a palette of colours no matter what angle you shoot from.
