Landing on a branch captured along the Exeter Canal.

Nicely caught Beryl.

Thanks Rolf.
Don't often see them with open tails they are so tiny and fast

[Merlin]

This is a first for me Beryl of the bird landing/taking off. An excellent image showing the Long-tailed Tit - which I didn't know until now - has eight (or is that nine) tail feathers.


Pete.

[Chocky]

Yes. Thank you
He is landing I have the one before as he is taking off,his tail is only half open,
He flew across to a nearby twig luckily a short distance

[topper]

Indeed the tail feathers are quite resplendent, I would also never have known if I had not seen that excellent capture

[Chocky]

Thank you
