I like the Rook shot the most Lionel, Mark Thanks Mark That beak, one wicked weapon. Now if Hitchcock had featured those I think we would all be going around in armour. As for the Raven, yes. We have had a solitary Crow around these parts for some years which bears a resemblance to a Raven and had ...

Mezquita Cathedral, Cordoba, Spain. A100 with Sony 18-200. Camera was barely a month old and I hardly knew much about photography. Hand held, with available light. Nice one sury. I do have a riposte to that but a bit further back in the past taken in Florida. That is all I will say for now as it is...

Thanks bakubo

I should reprocess that first one as that was originally extracted using RawShooter and I figure I could do better now.

Both A99, the first SAL 28-75 and the second KM 17-35 2.8-4

Very picturesque but

there must be a storm in the distance, the ship has a list on. How to make people sea-sick on land.

The last three in this sequence are close ups which provide character and in the case of the first a clear sense of relationship to other feline species, cats do not have round faces. First two A700 and Minolta 80-200mm High Speed AF APO: http://lionels.orpheusweb.co.uk/MorePics/Cat3.jpg in the next...

Being home alone for long periods whilst recovering from the trauma of cardiac arrests my youngest daughter decided to re-home a young cat in my direction to keep me company whilst wife was at work and also to provide a calming influence. Here she is taken about ten years ago before she was poisoned...

......and “Baby” sparrows –Pat I really like those sparrows Pat. We are seeing a few more about this last couple of years and Dunnocks have been seen again too. These used to be regulars whilst I was able to maintain feeders. I had to give that up as Raynaud's disease hit on top of gout, both relat...

Wow Ken - extreme close-up! I find it slightly mesmerising.

Indeed it is, a shot after my own heart. Think Fibonacci number sequence.

A meagre start with our feathered friends and nothing so exotic as vulture. Starting with a juvenile Black Headed gull, Sony A700 + Minolta 80-200mm f2.8 High Speed APO http://lionels.orpheusweb.co.uk/MorePics/BlckHeadGlJuv.jpg and I think this Jackdaw could almost qualify as being BIF. Sony A700 + ...

a99 + SAL70300G

Nice Griffon vulture, but I do like the sound of a Griffon

in a Spitfire, although the Merlin has a more refined purr compared to the harsh staccato of the Griffon.

Nice shots Birma or should it be Andy. My service will be resumed ASAP. I have been fighting other issues including installing Lightroom 3 (attempting to use an extra external drive caused Windows to re-assign drive letters and break LR2's catalogue accessing. Doh! Windows can be dumb sometimes - no...

That's a great picture of the early Harrier on a carrier deck. There can't be many pictures of this around. Thanks Birma. See that deck extension right background, known as Fly 4 to us, that is one position where we could tie down a Phantom for full power and afterburner test runs. There was a fitt...

Ps I was watching a TV doco thing on some cliff nesting birds a long time ago (it might have been Eagles I forget) they were using a hide and they said birds can’t count, That is what I was alluding to in the post above and I heard it from this guy, http://www.michael-macgregor.co.uk/ who has taken...

Mark, Thank you. Here is the photo of the food. Some cracking shots here sury, from Pat and others too. Could that heron {1} be eating a hagfish for is that the hagfish slime at the tip of its beak that looks like a waterfall. Hagfish I thought inhabited deeper waters but I do know that they produc...

Well I was going to join in soon but a neighbour took out some of his fence panels whilst the blow was gathering force and that which I was going to aim my lens at is no more! The garden is a bit sparse at the moment following some reorganisation. I do have shots from other years though but more for...
