The sun was not doing me any favors but I did manage to get a bit of fill in.  -23C so I shot from my window.

I would have said it is a common redpoll!?

Edit: The file name indicates the photographer would agree.

This was another "zoo" environment "guests" were more or less free to roam around.

Thanks click.  The repolls are now here in large numbers due to the cold weather and my seeds.  For anyone not familiar with them they are not too much bigger than a chickadee.  They are a seed machine in action - barely ever a shot not showing a seed or remnant falling.

Thanks Don, we're just too far north to get the really good stuff.  Following Artie can make a person depressed - pelicans in full breading plumage etc.  ;)  However, I don't think I'd trade places given that we never seem to get anything too significantly bad other than a few cold days while others are getting disasters.

Hi Folks.
Lots of great shots from all the usual suspects and a new (ish) chap with N gear! :) But then its not the gear that counts but the photos and that he shares them here from choice. 👍
A few of a Kingfisher, not superb shots, not even good shots by forum standards, but my first shots of a Kingfisher and I’m chuffed to nuts with them!
The outing didn’t start well as I discovered I forgot my Black Rapid Strap when I parked the car, then after walking best part of a mile to the Hide carrying a 100-400 with gripped body by my fingertips I found I had left my 1.4x converter in the car, hence the tiny images of the bird!

Graham, thanks for the kind words!
You say "But then its not the gear that counts but the photos..." - and I agree. But even when I get home without photos I'm pretty sure that I spent my (free) time better than just somewhere in the town. And I'm very sure it's not only me like that in this forum!
Today I spent a lot of time chasing Grey Francolin (I still do not have good picture of these) and didn't see it. Come back with pics that could be good for "plants"/"insects" discussions but not birds :). Still it was nice relaxation. Tomorrow - again! Monday back to work despite the long weekend here - have to :-\! 
I will post some older photos - just to keep it going.
