  • Cowslip and Bluebell are not birds Bob ;-)...sorry couldn't resist lol
    Super crisp clear shots as always...brilliant in-flight shots aswell ;-)

    (Pardon the Scottish Accent)

  • From the Hedge sparrow to the diving Tern and Spoonbill to the Avocet, wow Bob you have excelled yourself, all brilliant shots and as Linda says so crisp and clear, I will have to go back now just to look them over again.

    Lot to learn

  • I can concur, the first one definitely isn't a barn owl!  Grinning

    Seriously, a brilliant set of photos Bob, and a pleasure to see what looked like sunshine, not something we're getting much of down here....

  • More fab stuff Bob.

    Did one of the spoonies have something over it's wingtip, or was it just mud from feeding?

    Love the iridescent Lapwing, and your Tern shots are nearly as good as mine JoyJoy

    Collared Dove are one of Mrs PB's favourites, and anything flying does for me, so you've catered nicely to the masses lol

    Thanks for sharing :o)

    I believe dark wingtips indicate it is a juvenile(last year's young).
