An excellent capture John
Another bird that I've never seen.
Well done.

Geoff.

I've not seen any of these yet. A nice alert pose you've captured here John and it shows the red off very well.

Matt

photographed lots last winter but none looked as good as this. Healthy looking bird and good pose.

Lovely close up John!
Paul.

A very nice image John, with great composition, I think the bg works as gives a sense of the natural habitat without being too obtrusive.

Trust you to be the first to get one Nice shot John. Can't say I am made about the BG but not a lot you can do about it. The ones in my garden last year tended to perch in similar surroundings.

A beautiful bird, and a lovely composition John.

Thank you people.
Comments appreciated
About 50 landed in a Yew tree and then shot off . Got some Waxys though/ !!

Good one John... bg is fine for me giving a good sense of the habitat, still to see one down here and waiting patiently for waxwings (as long as the blackbirds don't finish of the berries in the garden first)

Lovely image John

well done

Ron

Nice sense of place and lovely detail in the bird. Lots of these in the fields around here at the moment, but if previous years are anything to go by, it will need to get colder before they turn up in gardens.

Lovely looking birds these are, captured well. Nice light on him just lifting his colours,pose makes this for me John

Great shot John - nice light and background
