SNOW!! WE HAD SNOW!!

great stuff... 5,8,9 and a bunch of others are my favs :thumbup:
 
Oh maaaaan! Nice series. Love the compositions and colours.

cheers

Very nice! Nice crisp photos, just the ones I've been yearning to take myself.

Its neat seeing the birds from other continents. However, its strange how similar but dissimilar they are to birds here.

- Your Goldfinch looks like a color morph of the Gouldian Finch sold in pet shops..

- Your Great Tit looks like a really long legged Chickadee..

- Your Redwing looks like our Robin..

- Your Robin looks like our Bluebirds..

amazing little things

What a stunning set of shots. Were they taken in your garden or did you manage to get out somewhere?

I wish!!
No I 'borrowed' Mikes Hides at his special place
I'm lucky if I get 1 blue tit these days but the collared doves have started coming back

Cool photos. I wish I could take ones like that. :)

Isn't it a bit risky being around those bird at this time of year? What if one was to sneeze on you! :shock:

I would sneeze back at it

I do enjoy these.
I have always found it takes quite a bit of time and patience to go close enough to take pics of such small birds with a 200 mm lens...even with the crop factor of digital you still have to get pretty close.

still have to be close with a 600mm I was about 3-4 meters away for those shots

Awesome shots!! :thumbup:

thanks

Great shots,,the one of the robin looks remarkably like one that won a conterst recently in National Geographic!
(will see if I can find a link to that later.)
 
We got the snow a day late, too!
But not the birds.
And I haven't got "a beast", either...
So you will keep the crown round your head for "best European bird photog on TPF" so far ;).

Is this a challenge I see before us?????
 
we had only one day of snow here .. and then i had to work :(

white lenses are good camouflage in the snow I'd guess ;)

Nice images by the way
 
Nice shots. Birds have placed a curse on me.
