Blue Tit

This is really a cheat photo - you know the sort, focus on the feeder then keep pressing the shutter
in the hope that one shot will be in focus.
I really don't get this lens out often enough. I like the background effect - should I be calling that "bokeh"? :)

Well shot with that big piece of glass Ann.Yes the bokeh really sets off the definition of the tit.....now why does that sound dirty?....lol.
Anyway Ann....great shot!
