Hello John.
Two lovely photos, amazingly clear and sharp considering the window between you and the bird. The photos are greatly enhanced by the fine light on the bird and the dark background which allow us to see every little feather so clearly. But if I had stuffed so much food in my mouth at a relatively similar age my parents would have told me about table manners.
Kind regards,
Gert

Hello John,

I love it!
These young birds are so cute and so very sharply captured, revealing super plumage textures and colours, with a great catchlight in its eye.
It is surprising just how sharp the photographs can be, even when taken through a window!

When the birds are so close and so sharp, you can see differences that are much more difficult from the garden feeders. These young blue tits have much more yellow on their faces than their grown up relatives!

Don't your window feeders have roofs?
I have found that with all the rain we have been experiencing recently that some birds actually sit inside the feeder rather than perching on the edge, to avoid the rain. When they do that, it is almost impossible to photograph them. Mind you with having a roof, I have to snap them just as they are on the edge to get any sort of a shot!!!

Thanks for sharing this,
Bev :-)

Hello John,
Two excellent photos of this lovely and charming bird. It chose quite a big bit of food, compared to its own body. The yellow feathers stand out so well from the blurry dark green backdrop. Very well done.

Hello John, two for the price of one! Excellent.
Two delightful pictures, with the catchlight captured in both shots.
Excellent sharpness on the birds with the tray of peanuts OOF.
Their colours show so well against the dark background.
Lovely work.
Thanks for sharing, kind regards, Jean.

Dag John,
A lovely diptych of this eating blue tit and the garden.
A recognizable scene, although the food we offer is a bit different.
A lot of blue tits and great tits are flying around in our garden and that is a good sign because many blue tits have recently died of a mysterious disease.
You can clearly see from the grey cap that it is still a young bird.
Excellent work
Have a good weekend. Be careful and stay safe, Rob

Hello John

Precise focus on the eye and beak, the bottom one is more interesting, the nut giving the scale and the dimensions of this little bird.
Have a nice day
