To photograph birds in your garden make sure you have a fairly fast shutter speed at least 1/500th of a second. Faster is better, around 1/1000-2000th of second, especially for Blue Tits as they twitch a lot and move around very fast.
Unless you're going to set up a hide in the garden indoors is best. You'll need open the window as the glass can soften the picture and to make sure the birds can't see you block the open window.
If you look at these two pictures you can see a simple indoor cardboard hide that i constructed.
Open the window, block with cardboard, pull the curtain across and poke the lens through.
The birds won't see you and you can photograph them much easier.
