i meant the last pic of the blue tit fledgling, not the parrot lol

That's no Blue Tit. Looks more like a young Sylvia atricapilla to me, otherwise known as the Blackcap. Cracking shot though.

There was originally a bit of doubt on the Id.

I stood around for a couple of minutes to see which adults were about, and only saw a couple of Blues & Greats.

So put two & three together.

 

I wouldn't however have come up with Blackcap though.

 

So thanks for that.

 

On trawling through some images, I see blue young have yellow band above their brows.
