Very Wet Tit

[John Robinson]

Blue Tit bathing.
Back to the pool.
Light is marginally better when the leaves are off the trees but there are not that many hours of daylight. Exposure always a problem but at least a slow shutter speed gives a bit of blur with the water drops etc.
Usual pool set up. Noidea why Blue Tits bathe more than other birds but they do.

Simply gorgeous John. It's hard to see how that plumage could be re-arranged into anything that would fly.

[John Robinson]

Thanks martin. As I say I still don't know why they do it so much more than other species. I know they do because of some identifyable individuals.

What a charming mess! Nice colors, and sharp. Another winner from your pool.

Wow, this has been one of the best bird in the pool series, Johnny.

[Sidharth Kodikal]

What a cute bird and what a mess it has made of itself. Love the pose, the colors and the sharpness.

I enjoy the image a great deal and will not be offering any suggestions for improvement, as it's wonderful as is in my book.

Thanks all

Super shot John, your style almost makes me feel I am almost in the pond with the blue tit.

After heavy rain and a bit of flooding I am in the water with them
