Similar to my previous posting. I like this one because the robin is fluffing its breast feathers a bit more evidently. It was a cold day with some snow falling. There were at least 25-30 robins on my lawn pecking away at the trash under the snow. Again, the picture was taken through a den window. 8)

Lovely shot, ERHP.

Great pictures everyone! Keep them coming! I´ll add some pictures I have taken during this month. All three are taken with 7D Mark II + 100-400mm IS II.

Nice series, Corydoras.

Nice series, Jason. I especially like the second and last picture.

+1. Can't decide on a fav, I like them all. I like the color of photo #4.

I'm hobbling around and my wife has been helping me with carrying the camera. So, I gave the 5DSR and Sigma 150-600mm C a try this afternoon as it is 700g lighter than the 5DIV + 400mm DO II + 2xTC. The AF is significantly slower, but it locks on well and consistently. Here are three shots, hand held, 21 m from a female kingfisher, in good light. Each is a 100% crop, with the bird occupying only 6-700px square. This combo outresolves the 5DIV at 800mm. I'm looking forward to trying the awaited Sigma 100-400mm f/6.3.

Great series on the female, AlanF!

(And for those who wonder how we can tell it's a female: You've got to check the lower parts... as in the lower half of the bill.)

Thanks Click and AlanF.

Beautiful shots AlanF.

Some nice pictures coming out Alan.
Did you get chance to try the 1Dx2?

I am struggling with carrying weights at present! Thanks for nice comments everybody.

That's interesting.

Nice shots Alan.

Found this beautiful baby from last spring while looking for my swallows.
