The Coal Tit Dive

Going from a tuck to a half twist for his third dive, the little coal tit corrected and grasped a sunflower kernel.

I'd filled my feeders and was watching from above. I'd noticed the coal tit(s) setting down on the arm of the feeding station and got my camera. I set it on my bird preset and waited for my chance. Each press of the button got me several shots in quick succession and combined these three to show the movement.

In case you're interested, the judges gave score of 9.5.
