Radwell duck

This bird does have white undertail coverts but I think the head shape is a bit too Pochard-like for a Fudge. Comments welcome!

Waxwing, Greenfield

The four Bohemian Waxwing were feeding on Sorbus this morning, but the freezing fog stuck all day ruling out any decent photography...

Waxwings at Biggleswade - Rose Lane - 07/01/2009

Very obliging birds. Good to see Nigel there and, as a beginner,

to pick up some tips from a real pro!

Blunham Pintails

These were a joy to find at Blunham this lunch time. Usually a sign the washes are freezing over. These present with the Garganey, over 300 Gadwall and severl hundred other wildfowl.

Garganey

Wrestlingworth.

Five hours spent photographing 100+ fieldfares on fallen apples in a private garden, what a sight seeing so many infront of my hide. Also feeding amongst them were 12+ blackbirds, 3 redwings, a few starlings and a single song thrush. Worth getting cold for.
