An exceedingly rare visitor to our island. Taken today in heavy drizzle and thick cover, so not the best of images.
1DS2 800sigma on wimberley. ISO 1600 (yes) , f5.6 @ 1/160, cropped all round to leave an 11in x 8in image, USM & neat image.
Best wishes

Hi Phil,
Seems to be tourist season for birdies, we have an American Robin, went to have a look but left quick as not keen on crowds must have been 100+ twitchers there. Your shot looks a good record.

One to be very pleased with Phillip, looks more blackbirdish than Thrush How many birders had turned up where it was?
I saw a wierd Blackbird today, it has a small looking head than normal but it's head was pure white, did I get a shot of it? NOPE
Nice shot of this lovely bird, Phil. I won`t be coming to see it: there was one ten minutes down the road from me in Swansea this time last year. Hope yours hang around as long as `ours` did - two or three months!

A great record shot to have in your collection. I bet the ferry out tomorrow has a few twitchers aboard
Well Done
