Great Tit

Taken with on-board flash, it didn't flinch at all:

Re: Great Tit

I like this shot David a very good example of the Great tit, PQ first class. Regards John.

Re: Great Tit

He is banded? And I wonder what that means.

Re: Great Tit

That is super sharp. The flash did its job very well.
Looks like it is being monitored

Lots of birds in this area are either trapped and ringed with a unique reference or ringed in the nest (plenty of nest boxes on this site) and released which enables the study of the population dynamics. Without the details on the ring I am not able to say where this bird was ringed but it is probably a localy bred bird.

The distance from the camera was about 4 metres.

Thanks to all for your all your positive comments.
