Blue Tit (Cyanistes caeruleus)

The number of birds coming to the feeders has shown an increase recently.  Before we set off to the Lodge I was recording the numbers for my BTO Garden Birdwatch.   Having the camera lying beside me the temptation to make today's blip was great.  So I took a few shots of this Blue Tit.

Going by the colours this is probably a male, as the colours seemed bright which is about the only visible (to a human) sign of sexual dimorphism.  Interestingly they see ultraviolet light as well as the visible spectrum so the blues really stand out to other birds.
