Varied Trush - Finally"

[andreasb]

I have a Mountain Ash tree by my house that by this time of year delivers a messy sludge of berries under it. I hate it, but the Varied Trushes come like clockwork every year after the first frost happened two weeks ago.

They are a real challenge to get to pose they are very skittish, and the light is not often that good with Rain and such, clouding the opportunities so to say. The AF seems to bounce on the Trushes for some reason leaving me with very few sharp keepers in bad light, not what anyone wants.

Yesterday started out the same a heavy rain, but then around 10:30 I FINALLY started getting opportunities in between passing clouds, with some glimpses of sunshine, and I got some shots.

I'm quite pleased but now I don't have any excuses left to not clean up outside of the house and put up the Christmas lights!
