Bearded Reedling part IV
Sorry guys, I just can't seem to get enough of this bird. Normally they hide within the reeds but when it's very cold they come to the surface :biggrin:
iso 320 1/400 sec. F5.6

Another great shot of this species Edwin. Usually I don't go for looking straight at the lens but this works really well for some reason :confused:

Good one! :toast:

The eye contact, the falling frost, the colours. You know what I think Edwin. Straight out of your top drawer, which must be pretty full now!
They have threatened us with snow flurries today, which almost certainly means two things, total gridlock and some photo opportunities at last (Please - are you listening up there?)

Hi Edwin

Another winner, and all down to getting the light on the eye - just stunning; this is my favourite of the 4 I've seen - simply perfect.
