This was a lifer for me last month,but i never managed a decent shot of it.I got lucky yesterday when she landed about 10ft from my car.
Location
Cannock Chase
Date taken
February 2009
Scientific name
Coccothraustes coccothraustes
Equipment used
canon 1dmk2n + 500mm + 31mm extention tube
Good shot & in the snow to..Glad you got your lifer!! :t: There is apparently more than one up there, 3 or 4 in fact, though it appears one of them seems far less wary than the others
 
Brilliant shot Nigel - lovely detail and she looks splendid in the snow. You certainly deserve it going to Cannock in that weather. Puts me to shame!!
 
This is a beauty Nigel, brilliant shot:t:eek::)
Makes the trip in that weather worth it o:D
