A species that is on my hit list for this winter, perhaps if they have eaten all your berries they will come and eat some of ours. Lovely capture of a beautiful bird.

A lovely shot of this cracking bird John, I like the alert pose - almost posing for the camera. :toast:

Nice shot John with lovely lighting :toast:

Backgrounds a bit messy but thats where they land so not much you can do about it :wink:

Hello John.

Lovely image and pose and the composition works well in the square format.

I was really hoping to do these and Red wings my self this year but almost none around.

nice image background is ok to me as these can be hard birds to capture with a plain background

Bags of detail and lovely lighting. Hoping to get some of these soon. :smile:

Always a great subject to capture John and shown off well here in some nice light.

Perhaps a little saturated John but a nice image of a bird that I spent ages trying to get a few weeks back (just before my trip) loads of them at the entrance to Elmley, just could not approach them so you have my admiration here...
