Redpoll surrounded by snow

Redpoll surrounded by snow (Acanthis flammea)

We had a tremendous amount of snow last weekend. Most of it's gone now and today it was raining. I took a great many pictures of birds in the trees near the feeders. There was an ridiculous amount of snow heaped on the branches. I doubt if the birds were very happy about it but at least they had plenty of food. The vast majority of birds were siskins and redpolls. The snow has gone but the birds remain.

I do love the dreamy setting the snow has made for this picture Graham.

That's a wonderful Redpoll picture - very well done laddie.

Oh my, this is stunning Graham. Such a gorgeous species with the red and browns against that white snow. Extraordinary my friend!
