Waxwing
Been trying for these the past two weeks, have spent many hours trying for a uncluttered shot and better sky managed a few today, sky was better than last week but still as frustrating, but at least I have a few and hopefully more opportunities to get even better.Would like a shot with fresher looking berries and to see more of the colours on the bird so have set myself a challenge, never satisfied are we, lol

Canon 1DMK4, Canon 500f4L + 1.4 convertor, ISO 400, f7.1, 1/640

Not easy are they ?
Good stuff though. Berries don't bother me.
