Wildlife / Animals nominee

This photograph shows the blue tit looking through the hole in the block of ice. I took this picture in my garden in Bydgoszcz (central Poland), during winter. I used a shutter remote control. I placed my camera under the block of ice (with small hole). Everything was really close to the birdfeeder. I observed many times, that curious birds searched for the food not only in the birdfeeder, but also on the frozen ground, bottom of tree trunks, etc. I hoped one of the blue or great tits would be interested in that hole in the ice. After 30 minutes of waiting with remote control in one hand and binoculars in the other, I could finally press the button after blue tit appeared on ice.

I am a mathematician from Poland. Wildlife photography is my passion.
