One of my favourite things to photograph is birds. And one of my favourite birds is the long-tailed tit. They’re really cute but unfortunately quite skittish and so hard to capture. This year I treated myself to a big zoom lens and at the time I would have said it was for shooting deer or eagles, but one of the first things I did with it was sit out in my garden and waited for a long-tailed tit to come to the feeder.
