Nesting Blue Tits

As always at this time of year, the blue tits are busy collecting nesting material, with some males collecting insects and bugs to keep feeding the female while she may potentially be incubating a clutch. I always find them surprisingly hard to photograph during these months, as they seem to be constantly hurrying from branch-to-branch at a high pace (especially once they start collecting caterpillars to feed their brood). However, when the light is bright enough and the sun is low, I am able to catch a few pictures at high shutter speed midway through the tits' treetop foraging. This is seen in the last photo, where the bird is moments away from toppling onto the next thin yew branch.
