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

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.

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 :toast:

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. :toast: :toast:

Like this Tim, the yellow berries are different and echo the tail feather bar :smile:
