Pool Time Again
Redstart
The dry spell has meant things are starting to happen at the four pool hides. This redstart turned up late this afternoon at the woodland pool here in the forest. Hence the shallow depth of field.
Nice to see them back anyway.
D200
Sigma 100-300mm
640 ISO 80th @7.1

Up to your usual standard John. Lovely looking birds these, I have only had the pleasure of seeing a couple of individuals.

Very nice John! A very handsome visitor to your pool. I saw a few these in wintering in Senegal a couple of weeks ago while doing my wheatear stuff, no photos though.

Thanks for your comments.
Pity he wasn't just a bit more square on but can't win em all. Light was terrible.
At least its not green !!

I guess that would have made it a greenstart then ... :biggrin: Cracking image John, with lovely detail in the bird and a great eye.
