“Blue Tit”

This image was taken on one of the first “spring” days this year. My garden has become home to a family of Bluetits who have chosen to use the bird box on the side of my shed to rear their young.

I have a camera set up on a tripod by my back door. This is always available to so as to be able to get quick shots of garden wildlife. Getting a camera out of a bag and fixing the lens and setting on a tripod takes time and can mean the difference between getting a shot like this or not.

Equipment used for this shot:
Canon EOS 350D
Sigma 80 -400mm EX lens (image stabilised)
Manfrotto 190Pro tripod
Manfrotto 222NAT Grip Head
