The smaller the bird, the more difficult to photograph. The long tailed tit is no exception, as it is rarely still. I spotted this one at Attenborough this morning. It appears to have found a cobweb full of insects, which it is eating. There were lots of midges around today. I saw several species of butterfly too.

As I watched a small flock of long tailed tits on one of the feeders this afternoon, suddenly they all disappeared. Then I saw why!
This chap didn't hang about but I managed a couple of shots before he flew off.

For a few seconds I managed to get all the cygnets in a row.

I thought this pair of ducks swimming and feeding in the midst of green pondweed made for an interesting shot.

Family of mute swans. They live on a country park and are well used to people. Some even take them food. So one of the parents got up to check who was approaching.....
