Minus 5 degrees centigrade has brought fieldfare into my garden. They will strip the holly berries in no time.

Oh, a redwing! One of those beautiful birds I can find in my backyard a well. Really nice capture John!

Thank you Mark. You are right, of course. It is a redwing, not a fieldfare. Silly me.

A lovely shot of the Redwing John.

If I had a nickel for every time I identified a bird wrong, I would make Donald Trump feel poor!

Don't sweat it!

Great bird photos AA, Mark, Greg, artington, Pat, & John.
Welcome to the forum Pat & John, hope to see more of your fine shots.

Been very busy lately, but went by the Bay yesterday to to try for more Snowy Owls.

Beautiful images DA! You are pretty fortunate for having these beautiful creatures to observe and capture! On a side note, I like the way you merge your signature into the images

The great bird shots just keep coming .

I really like that Redwing, and the second latest Snowy Owl shot is stunning. DA, you make it look like he just waits there for you to turn up - I'm sure it is more difficult in reality .

More great shots! : )

Nicely taken Artington, Pat, John and David Antony.

I'm most envious of the lovely feathered creatures that you come across. Amazing detail and colours in all shots.


Thanks for sharing,

Thank you all for kind comments. Rewing eating holly berry was taken yesterday. Today it snowed and daylight is too poor for good photos.

Sorry, there is no such bird as a rewing. it is another redwing.

Love those Snowy Owls DA, it looks like that area might be a productive place for the odd meece and they are getting ready for the evening banquet.
Greg
Ps I actually took a couple of bird photos myself today for a change, but none were really up to scratch, (difficult shots) shame as one of them was a new one.

[Greg Beetham]

I think it's a good shot of the Redwing John, you have caught it eating a berry and the bokeh is great, (I count about 10 stalks that now don't have any berries).
Greg
Ps do those holly berries taste any good? red is usually a danger sign....usually.
