Redwing
I took this on our village green at the weekend, I got a few strange looks (more than usual :wink:) from some of the other villagers. This particular bird was very vocal, constantly harassing other birds if they came too close.

Techs:
D2X
600 F4 + 1.4x
1/640 @ F5.6
ISO 200
Full Frame
Beanbag on car window

Hi Mark,

Shouldn't worry about the locals, you've come away with a very nice image, I'd be more worried on village greens kneeling in something unsavoury :eek:

Regards

Rob

Good Redwing portrait - ignore the villagers: you have to suffer for your art even if it's embarrassment which you'll become impervious to over time!
