Blue Tit

We had a couple of blue tits on the feeder today, but you can probably tell from the shot that things are not simple at my house!
Firstly, it was very dull, and the rain was around making the condition unconducive to bird photography.
Secondly, I was in the house and had to shoot the photo through double glazing (which has lead flashing diamonds on the glass which meant focusing through a small gap).
Thirdly, I only have a 55-250 EF-S lens, so whilst decent for me, is not good enough to match birders' quality of lenses.
Fourthly, the wall behind the bird is painted white, which meant exposure had to be fiddled with...
Still, a reasonable attempt for me.
Considering all that, WDYT?
