A contribution to Becky’s July Squares: Blue photo challenge.
Having posted a grumpy Great Blue Heron as part of the challenge it didn’t occur to me how many birds there are with blue in their common English names until writing this post. Expect to see a few more bird species before the end of the month.
An adult Eurasian Blue Tit feeding young with a caterpillar. When the photo was taken they were simply Blue Tits and they had a different scientific name.
what an amazing shot . . .

Thanks Becky. Two thirds of the way through the month and I’ve only just thought about bird species with blue in their common English name.

Thanks Stuart. Taken in a nestbox in south Cheshire not too far from Chester.

It’s very well done! I assume you had a lens on a cable in the box?

There was a glass back to the regular box with another box on the rear of the glass that I could attach a lens to.

They’re only a few days from leaving the nest, they’re always hungry.
