Thanks, Margaret!

No - the only one "singhing" here is me |=)| - And now I will go for some birding as the sun will rise in 30 minutes. It is clear skies and -5 degrees cold. In Sweden we celebrate mostly during Christmas Eve - today is pretty calm.

I begin to recognize your 100mm work, Hans. I tried it too. With birds I mean. I do have been married to that lens couple summers now.. 85mm/f1.2 or 135/f2 would be nice to try. Maybe Ill buy the 135mm sometimes if I have money. I believe it would be faster and easier to use compared to 100mm macro.

You have nice light BG in this nuthatch pic. Looks good! :clap:

I think the background in this shot is superb, Hans Bertil - but then so is the foreground. What a great image!
