Reading, UK Canon R6 + 800mm, F9, 1/800s, ISO16000 An overcast autumn day is not the time for fast speeds and low ISOs, alas.

I'm reasonably sure this is a song thrush, but if someone wants to tell me its a mistle thrush go for it!

This is a very popular yew tree with birds and squirrels, but alas, no good places to sit with a clear view of the current feeding sites.

The tree, the berries.. almost looks like it's inspecting a Christmas tree.

I know what you mean, but yew is more church graveyard than crown of thorns and/or pagan rituals!
