    Can't compete with these beautiful owls in the snow at the moment, so here's a little wren from the snowfall about a year ago.

    A beauty, Mike. Very nice winter defused light, and excellent complimentary tones in the BG.

    Very nice image, Mike. I like this species. They call it Winter Wren here and it has a beautiful song.

    Hi Mike, I like the pose with the beak following the line of the tail. Good plumage detail, and well exposed on the snow. The colours of the BG compliment the bird nicely.
