I actually love a cold frosty morning. Birds are more active in their search for food and far less secretive. Gloves, hat and several layers are a necessity though.
Reed Buntings were the most abundant bird this particular morning, which was good because I'd not really paid them too much attention recently. So I sat particularly still in a couple of the hides to do them justice. They didn't disappoint, with some lovely poses for me.
Hello Adam!:) Your endurance paid off with these wonderful captures of the Bunting. That last image is so beautiful!:)
ReplyDeleteI love this bird.
ReplyDeleteHello . Amazing pictures of birds.
ReplyDeleteFantastic pictures. When we had that cold snap a few weeks ago, we had 2 Reed Buntings in the garden.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! I love the colours you captured in the final photo - it really highlighted the details in his feathers.

ReplyDeleteI came late to birding so perhaps have seen buntings before but wouldn't have recognized this little darling. Thanks for sharing his photo here, and I hope you'll also drop by http://image-in-ing.blogspot.com/2016/02/abstractions.html and share!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful drawing of the small bird in his feathers!
