Photo of the day (Blue Tit)




A relatively common bird in Cyprus. This one came so close I could capture it with the smart phone.
They eat almost everything and often steal food from smaller birds and, occasionally, pork gyros from unsuspecting tourists. As long as there’s not too much garlic mayo …
Beautiful bird.

One of my favourite birds 🙂
Fun fact about Robins – they’re very territorial and loyal to their food sources. The Robin you see in your garden is probably the same one each time.
It’s been one of those weeks for bird photography. When I say “those weeks” I mean that sometimes you can head out with your camera and not capture anything. But occasionally, you get a week when you’re incredibly lucky.
That was this week 🙂

Taking photographs of wild birds can be incredibly frustrating. No sooner have you raised your camera and the moment is lost.
Not so today, though. This little Nuthatch was joyfully pecking away at the dead branch in shot and was more than happy to be photographed.

If only every day out with the camera was like this one!
