Long Tailed Tit Chick

Posted by Richard_Irwin (Belper, United Kingdom) on 17 May 2008 in Animal & Insect.

The next three shots are of three little Long Tailed Tits, which had somehow escaped their nest all on the same day. i spotted them perched up and down the steps leading into my garden, and the parents were trying desperately to get them to get into some bushes. I don't know how they got to where I found them, as I was unaware of any nest nearby, yet they were all together, and were not much good at flying. Anyway, eventually they made it to the thicket about twenty feet away, after which I lost sight of them.

Oh, I hope the parents were able to round them up and get them to someplace safe! Wonderful detail, Richard!

A precious little shot. Those little chicks are so unworldly and make the worst possible decisions for themselves . . . but they may well be thinking the same about us!

This is an excellent shot Richard. What a photo op for you. This looks like a picture that you would find in a bird book, perhaps even better. I love it.
