Last week we had some seriously delicious temperatures, well into 70s,
so the almond and cherry trees began to bloom. Then came the rain and
chilly temperatures. Nevertheless the tree in the back yard kept its
blossoms long enough to attract both bees and birds!

One of the birds is quite small and flits about the tree from blossom
clump to blossom clump very rapidly giving off little "pweets" as it
does so. I don't remember seeing one before although I'm certain they
must have been around.

There was hardly time to focus so this image is a tad soft. The bird
is only a bit larger than the "jenny" wren I grew up knowing.

Shot with Canon 1Ds Mk II, Telyt 560 wide open.

Thoughts and ID would be welcome.

ps: I have to say that doing this kind of photography and having three
cats who want to "help" doesn't make it easier! The birds don't mind
the small dog but they have serious cat issues.
