A robin sitting on a twig, with a blue sky (and some out of focus twigs) behind it.

#Twigbird rather than #Branchbird

A Blue Tit, perched on a vertical, lichen-covered twig (on the other side of that twig, from our perspective). The underside of the bird’s body and tail are facing towards us (with the tail pointing towards the bottom right corner of the image), with the head turned to face towards the left side of the image. Blue Tits are small, colourful, and characterful birds. The head is white with a blue crown, and black stripes encircling the cheeks. The underparts are yellow, with a short, often irregular, black stripe running down the middle of the belly. We can't see the wings or back here. The underside of the tail is grey. The beak, and the legs and feet, are dark grey.

More of a #TwigBird than a #BranchBird (today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme), but I’m going with it! A brilliant Blue Tit (from Brandon Marsh on Saturday) to end a #Plumescrolling thread in which we’ve seen pics of this species either approaching or departing. #Birds #UKWildlife #EastCoastKin #Photography 🌿
