Twite

A Twite in the hand is worth ten on the beach,
This was taken in our early days of trying to catch these birds.  We soon realised that although the flock may be one hundred strong you take what is under the net as adults are much more wary.
Although not as sharp as above a much more natural pose.
Less white on the wings indicates an older bird than the one above

  1. Hi Ken. Some twite nice images here.I am sure you will be looking out for some of the many waxwings currently in the country and shortly to be coming to a berry bush near to you. Enjoy your weekend and hope to catch up with you again in the Rusland Valley.
