Cropped, saturation, contrast increased. A simple but effective update.

How about a way to move back and forth between the two full sized images?  

Or, maybe better yet, combine both full size (at least large size) images together on one page and then one could scroll back and forth for careful comparisons.

Revision 1 is a much better version (IMO).

A bit of careful work with the dodge tool could bring out a bit more on the Blue Tit.  And with a bit of sharpening or clone work you might be able to better define both tits' eyes.

Yeah good suggestion - the sharpening and colour adjustments on revision 1 have lost the gleam in the eyes that is (just) present in the original.

Try using the Sharpening Tool around the eyes.  (Get in close - Actual Pixels.)  If that doesn't do it try using Selection -> Color/Hue adjustment to create 'catchlights'.

Ali, I finally decided what I thought would be a decent adjustment.  I liked your cropped version the best.  I selected the birds and added a bit of fill flash to brighten them up a tad.
