Hi Bob,

Great colours and composition that you froze (you said it was -8c) in this photo.Those red icy fruits (they look like some Sorbus sp. fruits) seem to be a good meal for the little birds trying to pass thru the winter.

Cheers, Petru

This is a very colourful and good capture of the bohemian. Having the berry in the mouth is a bonus. I have one like that in my gallery.Your whole workshop of this bird is equally as good.
This is one of my favourite birds to see I think.

Hello Bob,
We normally see this lovely Waxwing here in the winter but this year it's been so mild so there've been less of them and we've only heard their sound like pretty bells as they've been flying over. Excellent capture, sharp details and beautiful colours. Great pose too on the Rowan tree!! Wel done!
Many thanks, Ulla

I am soooo jealous Bob!!! What an amazing capture of this beauty! You caught it at perfect timing with great proximity, excellent colors and superb details. How can you get so close? I have seen those superb birds only once and the sky was so covered that all my pictures came out bad. Congratulations for this perfect picture!

PS And, as it wasn't enough, you have other wonderful shots in WS. Why can't I have only one, lol?!

Hi Bob,
Is easy to understand why you were so happy these past days.
With that blue sky and beautiful light is enough inspiration to go out and take pictures as good as this one.
Love the close approach and magnificent details got on the bird's plumage.
Both poses, this one and the other at the workshop are just great.
Congratulations and thanks for share it.
My best regards,
JM
