Clutching at Straws

Aberdeen

Seems to me that there is a lot more of these fellows about this year,
maybe it's just me or maybe it's all this cold weather
bringing them down in search of food.

What a poser!!!!
Great shot - I especially like the frost. They seem to be around all year now here in North Yorks.

I've not spotted any at my bird feeder yet, but then again it's only been out for a couple of days. I'll try to keep count and let you know the statistics for Germany asap :-)

He's not looking too pleased with you - theres more around because its nearing Christmas - as kids we were always told he is one of Santa's helpers checking if you been good enough to get presents . Judging by the sharpness you don't need any new lenses!

'Rockin' Robin' - Great look he's giving you.

Sharp as a tack...Nice work...

Great sharpness in the shot ... frosty white foreground is very effective ... and he's watching you take that shot!
