Willow Tit about to leave the nest. A very uncommon bird now in the uk but luckily in the Wigan area we have about 30% of th whole population, Even so, its quite rare to catch one and especially like this coming from the nest. The birds nest is usually a hole they dig out of an old or softwooded tree, in this case a old Elder tree and fairly low down.

Brilliant. There’s an artist woodcarver I know might love to copy this rare creature in his inimitable style. www.nickhunter.co.uk

Luck always helps- I knew where it was I just happened to be walking past when the bird flew in- so a question of time a couple of quick shots and off

A wonderful natural History shot Richard. As you say, these Willow Tits seem quite rare. We have blue, great, coal and long tailed tits but not these in our garden. Wonderful photography here. Well done.

Best Wishes. Herb
