Hi Sam, I hope you all had a good Christmas.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots of the Fieldfares, their blue-grey head and nape make it a beautiful bird. I spent Christmas day at Stithians photographing Goldcrests and Redwings feeding near the boardwalk area.

Nice photos - kind of reminds me of our Meadowlark!
