Blue Tit

A bit of an emergency blip today. It was a choice between this or our arachnid friend the Garden Spider but as I blipped him the last time I had to pick this bad photo of a Blue Tit. It's a pity the face is out of focus (I had to use the manual setting as he was amongst the branches) as he looks rather cute.

Had a close shave with the female Sparrowhawk this morning, too. I was about to pack in getting a photo for today and started walking up the path beside the pond when I heard the Blackbirds alarm-calling and all the sparrows dived into the bushes. I thought 'that's definitely either a cat or the Sparrowhawk' so I went back down the garden and looked over the fence into next door's but I couldn't see anything. Just as I turned to walk back she flew right past me (her left wing nearly brushing my right cheek) and then over our other neighbours' house. Far too fast for me to get a photo but it was just fantastic!
