Oh poor thing! Are you sure it was Tics? There is a type of avian pox which affects Tits with warty type growths on the head especially near the eyes and there has also been a mystery disease reported which is similar.
The photos of the female Mallard on the last post were really superb Bob!!
Great captures, Bob....poor great tit...sad that ticks can be such a pain.
ReplyDeletepoor baby!
ReplyDeleteOh--that scared me...he shows a lot of patience with those things hanging off his eyes. But, but, I bet he listens to Albert King, too!
ReplyDeleteA pure joy, Bob, photos and music!

ReplyDeleteThe detail you have captured in the feathers of this sweet little one is just amazing Bob!
ReplyDeleteThis too is Nature. I like to photo the fallen leaves, and 'back" sides of flowers, as well as struggling 'homeless' people. . . .
