We are decended upon in the autumn and winter by to migrant winter thrushes, the Redwing and the Fieldfare. Both are generally difficult to photograph as they are very shy and easily take flight. There is a bit of story to this photo, as unbeknown to me, my secretary entered it in to an Autumn Photograph competition being run by the National Trust and a local newspaper. The first I knew about it was when it appeared in the paper as the winner following voting on a website and selection by the papers picture editor!!!
Wow, perfect timing with that berry half swallowed!! Only thing I'd change would be to trim a bit off the bottom...but then again you did win a contest with it as is!! Congratulations.
I too have lots of these around at the moment, in fact there were lots of them today, but they usually only stay on the ground which doesn't make for nice photographs
