Thought I should start another year with an all too rare visitor to the garden. Once we would have dozens of Fieldfares and a few Redwings feasting on the windfalls but now dwindling bird numbers and additionally, as a side effect of global warming, fewer birds needing to migrate this far south, we rarely see them. This sole bird was clearly starving. It stood for nearly an hour eating its fill of apple paying no heed to the other birds around it. it was very docile for a Fieldfare. But then, now filled with energy it resorted to type, chasing and scolding the blackbirds like a thing possessed. Fortunately I captured it while in its half exhausted state....it was all over the place after that. For the record, it was -6deg outside....the photographs were taken through double glazing, of course!!!!! Click here to comment on this image. Click here to comment on this image. |

Was it a pair. Nice bird(s) 1656 exposures already Iain. Don’t wear it out. Are you happier with the results than the Sony? |

Went looking for Goosanders on the River Ouse. They winter there every year and I photographed them once. I was told they are near the bridge in Downham Market....cant miss them ....there all day". Well unless this is a Transgender Goosander, they weren't there today. Just as well as 12800 ISO is a bit too grainy for me especially when cropping. Not even a Purple Heron.
