Baby Crossbill Posing for Me

My beloved D800 is in the shop for a sensor cleaning but my D5100 came to the rescue when this sweetie just sat there as I got my long lens on the camera. I've been wanting to get crossbill shots all summer with little luck, but here you have it.

Yikes sorry I missed your 365 picture. Not sure how I got so behind... Striking capture for your anniversary. Hope you have enjoyed loooking back at all those great shots from your year.

[Jane Pittenger]

@fueast I've been hoping you'll give me a video tutorial

[Alison Tomlin]

Oo not an expert - I just used windows movie maker - it was mostly drag and drop. Quite easy. Its probably even easier on a Mac.

[Jane Pittenger]

@fueast So you googled windows movie maker?

[Lisa]

Fave! I came back just to check when I realized you had just passed 365! This is wonderful, yay, hope you will continue!

[Sebella O'Donovan]

Gee this is an awesome photo.

[Juliette Packham]

Suddenly realised you're right past your 365th shot and I completely missed it! Belated congratulations on a fabulous year, and so glad to see you continuing
