A shot from today where the weather conditions were not too good with freezing fog most of the day. I have now got approx 40 Waxwings at the bottom of the garden at various times of the day.

A work in progress I hope they turn up again tomorrow.

D700
Nikon 300mm 2.8 AFS
1/640 sec at f4.5 ISO 1000
