What kind of bird? The blue and yellow~very beautiful.
I think it’s a Great Tit. It’s either a Blue Tie or a Great Tit. Great Tits have the black markings down the middle of their breasts, Blue’s don’t so much. I can’t see the difference these days.
It’s funny actually, it can be quite painful sometimes – I know they were decent because they would never have been published otherwise, but I can’t really enjoy them, much any more. The camera just tends to sit there…
Looks like your phone is playing silly buggers again. So I’ll have to make your comment up. Did you say you hated Blue Tits, and every time you saw one, you go out in your garden with your shotgun? 🤣

I think it’s a blue tit Mr B. I was just watching some feeding in our front garden. Lovely photo.

You’re probably right. I took that sitting on my sofa, staring out of the bay window, with my biggest lens. Used to spend hours like that.

I’m grateful I can still use the computer, that’s really the key thing.
