I see some beautiful birds visiting my garden feeders.
I have managed to capture images of them over the years... but I have always struggled with Coal Tit's.
I have been experimenting with slow motion video this past week.
By chance I captured a few seconds of a Coal Tit on one of my feeders.
This is probably the longest a Coal Tit has stayed on one of my feeders while I have been present.
I was so lucky to be using the camcorder at the time.
This little clip is slowed down to half speed... it's a lovely little bird to see.

Some birds are like that:)
ReplyDeleteNice photo, and video :)
ReplyDeleteThis bird looks just like the chickadees that come to my feeders. I got curious and looked "coal tit chickadee" up on Mr. Google. Apparently they are in the same family, and may possibly be the same species...
ReplyDeleteI like both the still and the video--with such quick birds, it is hard to get a good shot. I usually don't succeed.
I have the same problem with Nuthatches, they are so hyper it's hard to capture a decent shot of them standing still! Great job with the slow motion.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! They look a lot like our Black-capped Chickadees who are the same way.
ReplyDeletei like how he coughs/spits out the excess seed. :)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet little birds. You captured them beautifully.
ReplyDeleteWow, half speed appears normal speed. These little guys need to slow down and enjoy life.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea that is to slow them down. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
ReplyDeleteNice little Coal Tit, yes, they don't stay around very long. I love the work of your camcorder.
ReplyDeleteExtremely interesting to see it up close and slow. sandie
ReplyDeleteCoal Tit video is delightful; lucky birds visiting your garden
ReplyDeletethat slow motion camera is doing a really fine job of capturing these sweet little birds.
ReplyDeleteThey are cuties, great photos and video!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Perfect for WBW!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo and video. That bird certainly does move fast.
ReplyDeleteYour Coal Tit sure does remind me of my Carolina Chickadees. They usually like fast food....grab and go somewhere else to eat.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video!

Such a cute bird! I'm glad you included the video...loved it!
ReplyDeleteLovely little bird, thanks for the great video.
ReplyDeleteCoal tits are such zippy little birds, like my grey fantails that never hold still. Good shot and great little video.
ReplyDeleteAs you know, I have a great affinity with coal tits.
Very nice clip of a lovely bird, Andrew...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful bird and Video!
ReplyDeleteSuperb!
ReplyDeleteWhere is that place? Not USA, I suppose!

Like the Chickadees here - I've been having trouble getting good shots of them. Nice little video!
ReplyDeleteWhat a little charmer he is! Glad your slomo worked and you caught it.
