The Great Tit – bird photography

Today I was able to take a picture of the Great Tit, pretty strange name if you ask me. In Dutch it’s “koolmees” and in Latin it’s “Parus major”. It is a passerine bird in the tit family Paridae. It is a widespread and common species throughout Europe in any sort of woodland. It is resident, and most Great Tits do not migrate.

It’s taken with my new lens – Canon EF 70-300/4-5.6 IS USM – and I must say that I really like the lens! I like it a lot more than the 55-250. Enjoy the pictures, more to come next week!
