It's been a pretty poor winter so far, but last year the snow came late so there's still time. When we do get snow a few apples on the lawn soon brings in the winter thrushes. Although space constraints mean it's hard to get a clean background with the 100-400 I decided to take a few snaps, in the hope of a bit of thrush grumpiness.
As usual the first few birds are a little wary resulting in the ground level equivalent of bird on a stick shots,
but in time they relaxed a bit and some of the action I was after took place.
To the victor - still with a bit of attitude - the spoils
If we do get snow this year I'm going to try scattering some apples in our community field where the extra space means it should be possible to get a bit more background blur.
