Redwing
Thanks for the comments on my last image. Here's one taken this morning on the road leading up to the London Wetland Centre. With the cold weather down here (we had snow :jump: ) there have been hundreds, if nor thousands, of Redwing and Fieldfare passing through. By the time I went home at the end of the day, there were barely any berries left!

Techs:
Nikon D300s
Nikon 200-400mm
Handheld from car
F5.6
1/250s
ISO 500

I'm off after Bitterns tomorrow in the ice, so hopefully will have one of them to post soon!

Thanks for looking

Oscar :wavey:

That will make a great Christmas card next year. Nice composition and colours.

An excellent image. If it were mine I think I might remove the small berries showing from behind that leaf along the top edge and also the small bunch on the bottom left edge. I often find that a bright colour (especially red) on an edge of an image can be distracting. Lovely shot though. :toast:

It's a lovely composition showing the bird in typical habitat. I'm a bit concerned about the feather detail though and it seems best focus was perhaps in front of the bird?
