"A bird in the hand..."

"A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

1.This expression means that it is better to have an advantage or opportunity that is certain than having one that is worth more but is not so certain. Urban Dictionary

2. The things we already have are more valuable than the things we only hope to get. American Heritage® New Dictionary of Cultural Literacy

It must be a special feeling to have one of these tiny birdies trusting you so much! What a wonderful shot! V

This is just amazing! VV

Very lovely shot , Christine!V

Beautiful! V. In Polish this proverb goes: Lepszy wróbel w garści niż gołąb na dachu - which tranlsates "A sparrow in the hand is better than a pigeon on the roof".

For an 'instant' shot, you have got great sharp detail, and even an expression in the bird's eyes.

Delightful shot, Christine. We have marsh and willow tits amongst others. This looks just like our marsh tit, although we live nowhere near a marsh.

So cute! "The Friends"! V

A cute little fellow. In Germany we have the same, it´s called: 'A sparrow in the hand is better than a pigeon on the roof'.

Look at this birdie, isn't it simply a wonderful creature? And, it's sitting on Stephen's hand - incredible! What a great shot, a winner for sure! Irene

Chickadees are so satisfying to the soul - they land, look you in the eye, take a seed and they're gone. It's a very cool feeling to have one land on your hand.

What a fab shot. V

Claude Gagnon		12-Nov-2014 03:03
Always a very nice time to have these nice friends so close to us! Well done Christine :))

Hank Vander Velde		12-Nov-2014 02:35
Nice sharp shot Christine. Looks like it is having a conversation with you.

And a seed in the mouth is worth many in the hand ! Excellent photo.

Don't bite the hand that feeds you! Beautiful Christine. ~v~

More than decent, spectacular! Now, are there two more in the bushes? V
