I think I found him in the center of the photo close to the shore; or is that a root in the water? A good artistic impression as the lake looks just like the sky. Brrrrrr! 🥶🧊Linda257 wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 3:32 pmOh cmonPimperneBloke wrote: Wed Sep 17, 2025 3:24 pm Not sure that qualifies as a bad pic Linda... not compared to our usual standard of blurs, specks and missing subjects lol![]()

The cute, wee Marsh Tit returned at 18:45, just an hour before dark at 19:45 for a 'last call for chow' as I bring the feeders indoors for for the night.

Alas, it was already too dark for a decent photo and I was lying in bed already when I shot this! Haha!

Brilliant. I have several just like it. I've submitted them for publication in the local rag. They haven't replied yet.
