At work we've been visited for the second time in four years by these, managed to grab some in the sun this time.

Never seen one of these awesome birdies myself Tim - luck lad you are
Great detail in the eye and head area - nice one

Great stuff Tim.!
I wonder if a landscape crop would work ?
I think every bird man in the land is chasing around trying to find these at the moment !
Nothing arund here.

Wonderful photo, I even like the oof branches in the background.
Having had flocks of a 1000 in Aberdeen a month ago we now have very few.
One last thing some birds have been colour ringed in Scotland, if you see any let me know and I will pass the info on.

Cracking image, your new website looks pretty good too!

Nice one Tim, I'm sure we are going to see a lot more of these this winter. I want some flight shots.

Hello Tim makes a change to not see these on red berries.
Always a challenge unless you are dead lucky to get one an isolated branch.
Bloody northerns kept them all up that end

Hi ya Tim, Looks like you took a great chance to capture a shot of a bird many of us want to capture. Brilliantly taken as usual showing good detail in the plumage.
