The really cold snap in the UK has driven lots of birds into the garden. I have both Redwing and Fieldfare at the moment - both first for my garden.

7D + 300/2.8 + 2x tc. Thanks for looking C & C welcome.

Fabulous shot, not least because you caught a great pose. Puts mine to shame!

Very nice indeed! A little more room all around would be even nicer I think, especially bottom and right.

excellent shot,

Kenn

Thanks for the feedback Kenn, I agree it is cropped a bit tight, I have some more shots from the same series so I will look one out with a looser fit.

Lovely shot, which I could have got that close with my fieldfare, he was very nervy.

This is such a beautiful bird and you have such an exceptional capture... I have seen so many posts, that I was wondering if they are in migration....
