But I’m afraid these are from the end of last year. Not got round to sorting out today’s efforts yet.
I’ll kick off with my favourite Swan
The Black Swan, from Australia; but this one commutes between my two local lakes.
Long Tailed Tit sheltering from the snow.
Great Tit sheltering too.
Female Mallard, coming in to land
Siskins, taking a break from feeding.
And finally a beautiful redhead
Female Goosander.
Enjoy the start to your New Year.

Excellent variety Keith full of rich colour. The snow really adds to the images where present.
Thanks for starting my New Year off right with these portraits, Keith. You seem to be on a firstname basis with these birds. As a redhead, myself, I particularly like the final shot. ;-) cheers,
Wilma
Beautiful collection to start the New Year :)

Absolutely, beautiful photos!!!! Boom & Gary.
That little LTT looks as cold as the snow. Nice collection there Keith and glad to see the Black Swan still has its place in your blog.
These are gorgeous, but I've come to expect that when I come here. Feel free to repost images like this any time. They're worth a second look.
Hi Keith...your photos are always great no matter when or where..
I really do like the photos of the Great Tit..(so cute adorable face there)...and the Long Tailed Tit.
Hugs!!
I wish you a happy new year and all good luck, your Photographs allways are so excellent and wonderful ! big hugh Kathrin
Those are all beautiful. I can see why you're partial to the black swan.
I always enjoy your entries. The little birds hold dear to my heart, so fluffed for protection from the cold. Always a treat to visit you, Keith.

The photos are fabulous, so nice to see the Siskins, I keep hoping for one in the garden but nothing so far.
I also enjoyed your 2010 highlights video, all great stuff, I think my favourite was the Grasshopper Warbler.
Thanks Jan.
Hoping for some news soon on Jim.
Just a stunning collection. I love the Swan and the birds in the tree with the snow. You have a very lovely redhead.. She is a beauty.
I love your start to the New Year.
Have a most wonderful 2011.
What a lovely start to 2011! All of them are beautiful but I'm fascinated with the Black Swan. The Long-Tailed Tit and the Siskins very pretty too :)
