•  Info Great tit, Parus major, a common bird across large parts of Eurasia. A nice pose, and IMO the soft light works well here with a high-contrast bird such as this. All by me, --Baresi F (talk) 22:47, 8 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the suggestion :-) --Baresi F (talk) 22:48, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

•  Support A more natural setting would have been even better, but the subject is a blinder ;-) Is the geotag correct? It appears to put it in a field without any brick walls, assuming it is a brick wall in the background? (I looked because I live nearby) -- Des Callaghan (talk) 16:33, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

Thanks - yep, definitely an Accrington brick wall providing the background :-) Those co-ordinates are about 200yd out wrt this image - most of my bird shots are in and around that field, so I just use the centre of it as a tag point for them all. I always make sure the compass heading is right for each image, though. Ironically enough, that whole area will be filled with brick walls in a couple of years time - 650 houses worth :-( --Baresi F (talk) 22:48, 9 October 2014 (UTC)

•  Support --Chrumps (talk) 00:55, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
•  Support. If I remember well, I can recall the same branch and brick wall in another photos by you. But the birds seem different. :) Jee 03:10, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

No wonder that branch is drooping with all the bird traffic it gets :-) --Baresi F (talk) 08:52, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

•  Support The filename could disappoint some readers, though Daniel Case (talk) 03:56, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

I'd wondered why it was getting so many page views... --Baresi F (talk) 08:52, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Hahaha. -- Slaunger (talk) 22:43, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
