Nice work Ian - the grass coming through the snow gives gives the image that bit of something extra :toast:

Nice! They're a bit skittish around here, so I wish this were mine. Is there a green cast?

Thanks for the comments

Ian: there might well be is this one any better with regard to a green cast?

Looking at the repost I guess there was a slight cast in the first.Delicate colours show very nicely in front of the snow, lovely detail showing hint of snow on the beak.Grass tips do also add as already highlighted. :toast:

Hello Ian.

Nice capture of the Fieldfare on the ground in the snow and I fine the repost much better.

I think the only comment I could make is a slightly lower point of view might have made it even stronger.

Tried today to get some shots of these and failed so I can see they are not easy.
