Description
I took this picture of a long-tailed tit on a branch of my smoke bush after a rain shower and thought the texture and colours of the feathery inflorescences harmonised well with the bird. The red orbital ring indicates that this is a juvenile. I love photographing the birds visiting my garden and spend many hours hoping for that special moment to happen. I had been watching a family of long-tailed tits that visited my garden from to time to time over several weeks, hoping to capture some good pictures of the youngsters as they grew up.
