Wings on Wednesday -

YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.

This Bharadwaj (common coucal) was photographed 12 months ago, in a different and warmer land.  I miss it fiercely, but that doesn't mean I don't love the place I am now, this frosty February!

Your turn - please link up any post you have where you tried out ornithological photography.
