This guy is almost as hard as the Red-breasted relative especially when you don't know where it will show up.
I managed to capture a few frames, just before the rain started.
It has been a weird winter.
Thanks for looking.

Classic pose, beautifully captured Karl. Love that bright eye and lovely feather detail!

It sounds like we're all having a strange winter. Cold, warm. freezing, mild, frosty, dry, wet, calm and then a howling gale. What next!

Fantastic shot. Nice detail even with 1.4X TC, very sharp image. Awesome silky smooth background behind the bird.
