The weather must be getting to me, I just made this posting and forgot to include the photo. D'oh!!
Just a bit of fun really, rather than for critique. I already know it isn't the best of shots. I just thought it was the avian equivalent of a sealion with a ball on its nose.

Senior moments David. I get lots of them
Well captured. I agree its fun to get images like this. I shall post a similar one taken yesterday of a Redwing. Maybe we could start a competition
I wish I had some berries in my garden so I could also watch them doing this. Nicely timed David,.

Hello David.
Good timing and lucky you still having some berries around, its been very poor this year for berries here.

Nice one, brilliant timing. I had loads of berries but the blackbirds demolished them in about a week!!

Interesting capture but shame about the BG and the movement in the head makes it a bit soft but for a simple behaviour images it works wonders. Do you remember the shot that Tony posted of the Waxwing with the berry in its mouth using it's tongue to help swallow..? Here is the link: Waxwing by Tony Flashman
