Song Thrush
Taken at a different pool this was shot very late in the afternoon earlier in the year- hence the colour.
Nice to see these around in good numbers again.

D200 Sigma 100-300mm.
iso 640
90th second f8

Wyre Forest
Thanks for looking

Hi John,

For me personally this is the best yet! Mind you that's saying something as I've loved every image from your pool shots!

Thanks both. I do like this myself as every time I look at it I can recall the day and the light and the cold and everything . Sadly I removed that pool,as very few birds were using it for some reason.
Cheers
John

Yes well up to your very high standards. Excellent. I hope you have snails in your garden, so you can get a shot of a thrush using its 'anvil'. Your next challenge, maybe, If, of course you haven't succeeded already.
