Hello John.

Thanks for the comments

Sorry I should have said that this is one from last year. It just got put straight to the hard drive with a lot of other stuff, and I am spending a little time going through them.

Thats very nice indeed! surprised the cold spell didn't bring them in, in good numbers!

I'm guessing they knew it was cold here too this year - last year was a treat for sure and this is a great reminder.

Hi Guy

Love feel to this shot - the comp is spot on and the bird looks great. I often think successful waxwing images need to show the colourful parts of the plumage but your image works very nicely without. Good stuff.

Cheers,
Chris

Cracking again as usual - I missed the WW visitors last year and have been waiting for them to reappear this year, but I've only seen two reports so far :frown:
Posted by Des Ong on January 26, 2010 at 8:21 AM
The facial expression on this shot is absolutely fantastic, arguably the best WW shot I've seen on this forum. Well done Guy.
