Winter Blue

• Photographer
  Piotr Górny, Poland

This photograph shows the blue tit looking through the hole in the block of ice. I took
this picture in my garden in Bydgoszcz (central Poland), during winter. I used a shutter
remote control. I placed my camera under the block of ice. Everything was really close to
the birdfeeder. I observed many times, that curious birds searched for the food not only
in the birdfeeder, but also on the frozen ground, bottom of tree trunks, etc. I hoped one
of the blue or great tits will be interested in that hole in the ice. After 30 minutes of
waiting with remote control in one hand and binoculars in the other, I could finally press
the button, after blue tit appeared on ice.
