Freezing start to 2010

Happy New Year to all BirdTrackers! Several excellent images were uploaded to the BirdTrack flickr pool over the holiday period, most reflecting the hard weather being experienced in many parts of Britain and Ireland. This atmospheric capture of a drake Goldeneye on a small patch of unfrozen water encapsulates the hardships faced by waterbirds in these conditions. The image was taken in Scotland where the RSPB issued this plea, relevant to birders and bird photographers across the country.
