A Winter Scottish Adventure Part 5. Crested tits with the Nikon Z9

This is the final episode of my winter adventure in Scotland and what a way to finish, with the charismatic Crested Tits. This is a setup created by Neil McIntyre and he literally has the tits feeding out of your hand.
It's not as straight forward as you might think though, with no obvious post or perches the setup is only limited by your imagination.
With rapidly changing light and weather and Crested Tits being notoriously fast moving and rarely settling for a shot I have to adapt my photography to the constantly changing situation. It also tests the AF on the Z9 as the Crests are in and out from the natural perches that I have chosen.
Do I get the shot? Does the weather hold? Come along for the journey and see what I see...........
