And a more confused shot of the squabbling

Prospect Park, Reading, UK Canon R6 + 800mm, F9 1/1000s, Exposure Bias +1.7 steps (grey day, so against a grey sky - never kind to bird shots!)

Since someone was asking EvilTed of file sizes, for comparison the RAW file here was 24,870KB, this JPG, cropped to about 1/4 of the area, is 2.47MB.

    Oh, so that’s where the phrase “calm your tits” comes from.

    You did well to get the exposure on the wings, that would have been very easy to blow out against that sky.

      TBH I think I just got lucky - I wasn’t expecting nicely fanned out wing feathers, just wanted to see what I got pointing at a little ball of fury :)

    We enjoy their antics all day long on our balcony, they are adorable. Thanks for posting these beautiful pictures.

    Edit: For the first time we had a long-tailed tit on the balcony today. Cute!

      Oh, now that’s interesting - the original has a resolution of 350dpi, Lemmy has it at 96dpi, thus size change
