Hi Nick,
this a superb looking shot of that colourful redpoll with nicely saturated colour and a good sharp focus.I haven't seen many of these little birds recently so this photo shows well what I can look forward to when they return to the area I live in.The like the background as it give a very contrast to the subject and it is not in the least bit distracting.A fine photo and thank you kind sir for sharing with us all.

Hi Nick,
I love those small birds - and this one has such wonderful red feathers at the time. I only had them in my garden 1 year in a very strong winter, they never came back, so sad ;-(
Thanks and greetings

Hello Nick,
The first of November: the first real Autumn day in Holland. Here also rain and wind. But this photo makes me happy.
The light is gorgeous, in the sunshine. Splendid colours, excellent sharpness, details, OOF BG, POV and composition. Very pretty pose.

Peter

Hi Nick,
Fastastic close-up of this beautiful redpoll and with such clarity.
So what's your trick to getting so close to these very skittish little passerines? I know you are using a 400mm but even that is close enough to still make them fleet. Blind? Teleconverter?

Siempre me asaltan dudas al ver tus fotografías:
como puede encontrar tantos pájaros? como consigue captarlos de manera tan maravillosa?. Sea como fuere, un placer seguir admirando tus trabajos.

Hallo Nicholas
It does not matter to me which camera or lens you use, your images are always "par excellance". I am sure even if you take a photo with your cellphone you will have excellent results. This Red Poll is no exception, as this is really very, very striking and most beautiful. Thanks for adding to my viewing pleasure with this refined bird.
Best regards.
