Tatty Tit
Looks like parenthood has taken it's toll on this little Blue Tit,
Captured in strong sunlight for once, large for full detail.

Hard going for these little birds, they seem to work round the clock keeping the young one going.
We have three nesting boxes all on the go and the parents look much the same as this one.

Thanks Maurice, strangly enough the Great Tits and Robins who are nesting very closely together with the blue tits are in much better condition

Maybe the blue tit I uploaded was a tatty little parent then Roger! I thought it was a young bird! Poor little things work so hard! A superb shot.

Roger (Grisly) club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Many thanks Rosa, I suspect that is most likely they work from dawn to dusk and are generally the last ones on the feeders at night,
