Yellowhammer + repost

Always find these chaps difficult in the snow - find them much easier in a tree. Didn't have long to take it - down for a minute then off

Nice one Kim. Just a little bit "heavy" on my gear so a squirt of "Gamma" would help a bit I think. Not too much .The head detail is the worst to get with these birds but this is OK.
Cheers

Looks a tad dark on my screen Kim but a nice close up. Glad you got one of these eventually. I've lost track of where we are now. I think you are still ahead as I have yet to get a Fieldfare

A wee dark on my monitor also but easily remedied Kim, lovely image.
