Okay, not just birds, but any creature you have photographed sitting on your hand. There is something totally amazing and humbling when a wild creature, which it would be so easy to kill, shows enough trust in you to sit on your hand while you take photos of it. These are, or should be, unforgettable moments, not just as a photographer, but as a human being.
So this is not about "what a great photographer" nor "what a great photograph" but "what a great little character".
First up is one of several photos I took 10 days ago of a young Great Tit which was exhausted and unable to fly. As he was in danger of being eaten by one of the local cats, I placed my hand before him and he hopped on, quite unfazed by my presence. He later hopped onto a friend's arm. I left him in a secure spot and he later flew off.
