Oh, I am sorry for the freezing fingers Nick, but the results are stunning. All of these are gorgeous!
Thanks Jayne :-) Good job I had some thermal gloves eh !
Beauties and beautifully captured. The Indian Magpies looks much smaller compared to yours. Well done
Magpies, like most Corvids, are amongst my favourite birds. Your photo is an incredible picture, a study of black and white.
Kudos to you and the few who braved the cold. Great photographs, every one.
Who ever said that being a birder would be easy?LOL The pictures are beautiful.
Blessings,Ruth
Wow! How could you do that with cold fingers?
Thanks everyone. It goes to show that the Canon 40D is a pretty good camera to work in those conditions.
Its not the most comfortable way to take photos though, when its minus 35 degrees celsius.
Loved every frame! Especially the Magpie...have yet to ever see one...
You are quite the dedicated birder for braving the elements as you seem to always do...Thanks!
