sorry to post another non nikon image rob/jk but I am totally chuffed with this mornings session this was with my g80 and 100-400 Leica rig hand held and one of about 160 superb ones .... I was gonna use the d300s as well but it was that cold I only lasted a hour . so if you can humor a old friend till I get a decent lens please .. these allowed a group of photographers to walk right up to them and fire away with bothering about us  a early christmas present by jeff and jan cohen, on Flickr

Not bothered what camera you used, more interested in what specie the bird is? Don't think I have ever seen one before that looks anything like that.

It's a Scandinavian waxwing Rob . Not rare but they only make there way here in harsh winters , so we get a inversion; every few years . Been waiting for a couple of years for them to appear again , today it all came together birds ,weather and the fact this flock wasn't bothered by humans . Plus the tree was low . The perfect storm .loads more on my flickrstream BTW taken outside John Lewis store on the Chester retail park with cars whizzing past my backside

Super pix well done, but bit of subject failure from auto colour bal caused by the blue sky?

Thanks Jeff, very interesting. Don't think I will ever be an ornithologist! Will stick with commemoratively named plants. At least you can get close (usually) without them flying away. The flowering seasons and wind being the main issues with that subject. Long lenses and Jobe's patience not usually needed, just a calm day, not too bright.

I took the liberty of a minor adjustment in Ps, using the white feathers below the eye as the white point. I don't know about the bird but the branch looks better, not as red. Lovely bird.

Probably more due to me liking a saturated image for impact than anything else. Graham and Robert , I post a lot of stuff onto Facebook groups as well and it helps to overcome there resizing issues if. The photos are saturated

Either way it's a striking pic. Graham has a good eye for colour balance. Since it's hosted on Flicker it won't be the forum software. Is Facebook still around?

Great picture Jeff. Is that full frame of image or a part? I think that you must be in a hide to get that close or you have some hidden skill to get so close with a 100-400. But with the G80 you get x2 on the lens which is then a 200-800. I think when you consider the size and weight of 4/3 in the context of birding then this is a real winner.
