here are the couple I managed to get in Cornwall. Far from good but I am pleased with them after the amount of faffing about it took to get them http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif

Wonderful pictures again Slinky.

I love the last picture in particular, as herons are among my favourite birds. http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif

[SteveB]

Here a a few birds taken in our garden

I heard a loud thud and went outside to see what it was. Did not expect to see this.

[Louby]

Stunning Steve, I love the one of the sparrowhawk, I haven't seen one of those in twenty years!

[SteveB]

I was very lucky getting that photo. I heard the noise, went out to see what it was, saw the Sparrowhawk. Went back in picked up my camara put a lense on it went back outside and he was still there.

[simooshy]

Love the Sparrowhawk, that's amazing! http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cool.gif

Here are some I took of other birds (less rare http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif ) a little while back

I know they're not perfect, but my camera isn't a fancy-pants SLR. Oh how I want one... http://nwstatic.co.uk/forum/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/cray.gif
