Another bather

Another bather (Turdus iliacus)

I don't get many Redwing shots. We have loads of Redwings here in the summer, or at least it sounds like there are loads of them. Could be just a handful doing their endless loop of repeats of the same 3-note "joke" (and then chuckling to themselves). But many or few, they're not as bold as their cousins the Fieldfares, so it's rare I get close enough for a good shot. I had to sit very still and wait patiently for this one.

Three brilliant colourfully lit and well taken close ups Ann. Nice to see, well done.

Yes patience indeed....the nicest pic I've ever seen of a Redwing. They are fairly shy so this is a great capture Ann.
