Our Blue Tit family
03rd June 2012
I have had the most amazing opportunity to capture a blue tit family as my eldest son Jamie built a bird box last year and we had never got round to putting it up anywhere. Now we have a family of blue tits nesting on the floor outside our backdoor.
I spent several hours lying on a sun lounger about 6ft away from them and every time the chicks started getting noisy, I knew one of the parents was nearby, so it was time to concentrate.I had to put the camera's shutter speed up to full whack and then struggled to capture these incredibly fast little birds.
