Dunnock DSC_5561
Dunnock / prunella modularis. Mapperley Wood, Derbyshire. 25/01/17.
As a change from seeking out and photographing winter thrushes and Waxwings in urban environments, I've visited a local wood twice recently. No noise, interruptions, ducking and diving - just sheer bliss to sit quietly relaxed and see what turned up...and I wasn't disappointed!
After a horribly foggy morning, the sun suddenly broke through at midday, my cue to grab camera gear and head out.
By mid-afternoon the light was golden and gorgeous. When this little Dunnock perched out, enjoying some rays and backed by Hazel catkins, I just knew an image had to be made. I quite like the bokeh created and the tiny bird in its big golden habitat.
