Another image from my sessions with blackbirds squabbling in the snow.
Its almost, well it is in fact, no holds barred, or feathers pecked.

Great detail in those blacks because of the reflecting light from the snow.

Congrats - I didn't see a lot of this with my blackbird sessions but I was on the look out for exactly this sort of behaviour. Nice capture.

Cheers,
Chris

Cracker paul, this is the one I prefer.

Very well captured Paul and this tops the first one I think. I bet it's hard to control for both snow and exposure on the 'Black-birds'..
