Marsh
Tit, Lower Whitley Wood, Farmoor, Oxon

Taken while
on a long & fruitless wait for a Nuthatch! The very
strong NW wind today, blasting through this wood, did not
make for comfortable conditions.

It seems to
have been difficult to get good pics recently and so even
tame common birds start to seem worthwhile targets!

On a very
quiet day around the reservoir, the feeders provided some
photographic compensation on a brilliant sunny day.
