Re: Birds 2011
Thanks guys, yeah a blind would be good sometimes, I think one like kingfisher had is what I’d like. There was also a Spangled Drongo reasonably close yesterday and it was sitting there ok, but when I got the camera it got spooked. A lot of birds are like that, they get nervous when the see you carrying some metallic object.

Ps. Yep Doc it was the grasshopper I wanted ha ha.

Well, congratulations, Greg.
Your garden is nearing the abundance and variety of a zoo's birds section in my eyes! : ))

Re: Birds 2011
I was trying too work out what fish it was, I think it's a large mullet, a meal for two or three Ospreys I reckon; great shot btw.

Nice one AA. Nature in the raw. The basic physics of how they catch, kill, and then lift off and fly astounds me .
