First I thought that maybe they’re trying to hide – as in trying to blend with the background. But it doesn’t make sense, because they kept doing it regardless of if someone was near them or not, plus in general these park birds are not afraid of humans (it happened once that one tried to sit on me, when I was taking a photo, and it gave me a scare, not the other way around!). So then I thought they might be protecting something – eggs, perhaps? But great tits do not make nests on the ground, certainly not in the open. So beats me, were they sunbathing or something?! Warming-up their wings? Anyone has an idea what’s behind this mystery? ;-) Anyway, they did look cute doing whatever it was they were doing – see for yourself!
OK., so I’ve been following birds with my camera for quite some time now, but I have no idea what these great tits are doing?! I mean, sure, I can see that they’re lying on the ground with their wings extended, but why?!
