What a beautiful bird Chris...I'm not sure I would have thought about the "plume" coming from the top of the bird's head hadn't you not mentioned it. Glad you posted it...these are beautiful birds and very well presented. It's also very cool (no pun intended) to see the environment and what you must have gone through to get the shots.

A good series, Chris.
I love the last three of the blue tit, but I can't figure out what it's doing. There doesn't look to be anything edible where it's concentrating.
The last shot is also well done. Plus, I like looking at the overall scene where you were shooting.

Very good job exposing these, Chris. You got some lovely detail in all of them
I like #3 best and I wonder how it would look in a vertical format
