The 135/3.5 is amazing and both colour and bokeh is fantastic. These beautiful birds are a joy to watch when they return each autumn. Nice shots! :o)
Great shots! nice to see the birds, we don’t get waxwings in my part of the country, are they resident in Sweden or migratory? I think they only visit here and only in Southern England.
Thanks :) They are resident here, people here say that when the waxwings come the weather is going to be really cold. They eat the berries and get drunk on them, when they are really drunk it’s said they can be catched with bare hands ;)
