I regularly pop into the garden to see if I convince any of the local birds to pose for me. The observant amongst you will realise that the large number of feathers, fungi, flowers & clouds on my timeline means they quite frequently refuse. Today I went out deliberately to take a photo of a cloud & BOOM. Bird action.

A photograph of a small bird, fairly sure it's a coal tit, sitting on a sunlit branch of an evergreen tree that stretches horizontally across the frame. The bird has a black head except for a triangular flash of white on the side. It's front is pale cream. The background is blurred green and grey of the tree and sky beyond, and on the right are green needles on a small branch jutting up from the main one that the bird is sitting on. The bird is looking up and to the right, in a rather dignified pose.

@Lojie I know, such dignity (and making sure I get their best side I suspect!)

@eclectech This greattit is destined for a big career. Yessir.

(pictures a greattit with a feather boa scarf in the future)

@Lojie @eclectech

I will never not laugh about you calling these birds tits.

I'll see myself out.

@Lojie I'm eyeing up possibilities for Santa hats at the moment too. A definite possibility. Maybe *with* a boa too 😁

@eclectech Well jelz. I even disguised myself under the clematis once and they still wouldn't sit still.

@fkamiah17 Hah, that begs the question "what did you disguise yourself as?" 😆

@eclectech You're right - the Bagpuss hoody might have given the game away 😂

@eclectech I have far too many blurred pictures of Birds (and butterflies) that taunt me by posing very nicely until they see my finger move towards the shutter button 🙃

@Chrisgodwin Oh I know. They are such expert trolls!
