Redwing at pool No2
New one drinking for me. Sat for four hours on Wednesday and had just one bird down! - this one.
Worth the wait though. Bit noisy but dull day and 800 ISO
D200
Sigma 50-500
100th sec @f8

I have been trying to get an image of a Redwing for the last 2 weeks, not easy as the are so flighty, good shot. For me the dull day enhances the colours on the Redwing :smile:

Another good pool shot John and of a difficult to photograph species too, I always struggle to get a shot of the Redwing.
