Feeding birds from hand in a local park
Its a start of winter. Birds lack of natural food. So I have decided to help people that feed them. Those tits used to eat from hands. (It seems). I was completely amazed by nuthatches. They were actually taking 2 seeds instead of 1. Here are the images of the birds on this video: Coal tit: Nuthatch: Big tit: Shoot with iPhone 5.

Big tit parent and a child searching for tilia parasites.
Found this pair while child walking. They were stick together almost all the time so I could not make myself to miss them with my lens. :) Full Flickr version: Canon 6D, Canon EF 100-400L ƒ4.5-5.6 IS USM, at 400mm, ISO2000, 1/320, ƒ/6.3
