Waxing lyrical

Only when you see these birds do you realise how beautiful they are...... stunning!
This is promsing to be a great winter for these migrants. The berry count looks good locally and the returning birds have already settled back into the areas that they frequented in 2008.

Today was my first sighting of the year.... 5 adults and a juvenile. The light was poor and drizzle constantly in the air, but I managed a few shots to brighten up the blog..... really chuffed, superb bird... and local too, Bonus!!




more good news.... same 6 birds in the same place on Saturday

Great stuff Andrew.... a quality bird indeed. Anyshot is great, even better when its your first. I guess there will be more oportunities to better your record shot before they return to Scandanavia.
