Thanks
The trouble is the snow didn't last long and our narrow lane was frozen solid so no apple tree delights as I couldn't get out ! :biggrin: :frown:
Cheers

a real cracking shot John, I like it very much. In an ideal world :smile: I'd have liked not to have seen the out of focus leaf in the foreground, but we don't live in that ideal world.

Great capture,

cheers

I like this quite a loot John, Really nice setting to the image but shame about that OOF leaf below the bird. I might also take out that leaf below your signature, bottom left.

Kind regards,

Brett :toast: :toast:

You're starting to really bug me now John :wink:

Hi John, another superb image, great to get the snow falling in the picture as well! Give the image an added dimension in my opinion.

A bird I have yet to photograph (although there are about 200 assorted redwing and fieldfare on the field behind my house at the moment) Any suggestions on how to tempt them to my garden field station would be greatfully accepted :wink:

Thanks all .
Hi Scott
Chuck a load of apples (red ) around under a tree and you should get them if they're hungry enough !
Best of luck
