Hello Gert my friend,
I don't think I have seen this bird before.
Like Blackbirds,people think they are black,yet really they are different shades of brown.
It is interesting that the white breast helps light up the riverbed so they can find prey.
This shot clearly shows the attractive patterns of the plumage.
I see the beak is slightly upturned too.
Thanks for sharing this interesting post.
Cheers
Steve

Hello Gert
This is really a special and handsome looking bird. You have captured it in a most pleasant pose, displaying all its lovely features. The details of the plumage is excellently captured and displayed. Focus and sharpness is splendid, camera work just great! You are one lucky photographer, my friend!. Earlier I saw a bird posted by one of the fellow members and I thought it was great, now I look at this photo and I think wow this is really awesome. This site is so wonderful and makes one so much aware of all the wonders of nature that one would not normally see, and your photograph is definitely one of those special ones. This is also one of those you appreciate more and more each time you look at it. This one really sticks to me. Thanks for sharing, this very admirable bird. Perfect photos and information like you have given here is one of the reasons I'll stick to the site, no matter what.
Best regards.

You have made a very nice photo with this bird. The low POV you have chosen offers a fine perspective over the bird. Desp[ite your rear position you have had very good eye contact. Moreover the bird is in a fine pose.

Thank you for sharing,

hello Ellis,
Very happy to see the picture of a bird I discovered lately on the riverbank of the Aar which crosses the town. I was very surprised to see this "lonely wolf", which was looking at me. At the time I didn't know which species it was. I just recognize on your picture the white throat and the wonderful brown of the head. I think the rest of the plumage was a little darker than your specimen. Not easy to make a picture with the snow!
Excellent like always

Hej Gert,
You made a superb capture of Strömstaren!
You must have been close to get him with such fine sharpness against the OOF water of Gävleån. The composition with the snow FG and light management are great.
Thanks for sharing this wonderful shot.
Hälsningar,
Ivan

Nu får vi några vårtecken: massor av sånglärkor och en del tofsvipor. Grågässen står parvis på fälten. Allt vi behöver nu är lite sol!

Hello Gert!

Maybe Blue Tit is Swede because of its colours, but this bird is Swede from its heart :-) Sitting on snow and enjoying it - this is fun only for Swedes :-) But seriously - I like this bird also. Beautifull brown colours and superb details on plumage. Excellent shot my friend, as always!

Hi Gert,

I haven't seen this bird before. A beautiful photo, despite the poor light. So sharp, that you can see the snowparticles on his feathers. Great. the diagonal line of the snow makes this one very special. A great low POV. Very nice notes. My compliments.

Kind regards and TFS BOB

Hello Gert !
I don't remeber to have seen this bird already, I think it's a first for me - and what a great picture this is ! Sharpness and details are excellent, but what I like most are the winter colors and mood, with snow and greyish BG. Composition and POV are excellent too, and even the OE snow does not bother me - you just made the best out of the conditions you had. Very well done !
Valérie.

Hi Gert.
What a nice and unknown for me bird. I am impressed a lot with its representation. DOF is great. Sharpness is amazing. Every feather and other charming details are reflected precisely. Composition created by curve of snow and pose of the bird are wonderful. Neutral BG is superb canvas for this beauty. My best wishes and TFS. Have a nice weekend.
