We are still suffering from a lack of light here in the north west, well at least when I have the time to visit the feeding station. This is the best I could manage the other day when the sun nearly got over the low cloud in the south.

D200, 70-200VR F2.8G + 1.7TC @ 340mm, 1/40th@f4.8, ISO 200 and a bit of fiddling in PS2....

Classic shot, great tree. Nice to see a 70-200mm vr shot.

I agree with Tim's comments and I think this is one image that may well have benefitted from a small amount of fill flash to help lift the whites,
