Re: Birds 2013
Love your work Mark, interesting to see the Buzzard, I had a look in my bird book to see if there was a Buzzard here, indeed there is but it’s different, has a darker body according to the book, I can’t remember ever seeing one here though so you have done well to get such a good shot of one I think.

Great Buzzard shots! I often find PCA slow to load and post - not too bad today though. Now we'll see when I press 'submit'

Re: Birds 2013
A couple from the other day - from a WWWT near us. I don't normally go to places where any birds are clipped but the walking was easy (with plenty of seats) and I've had a bad back recently.

Re: Birds 2013
Lovely close-ups Pat.
Still a good one Mark just the same, with the melting snow about, I don't think I've seen a photo of a Fieldfare before.

Re: Birds 2013
Those are wonderful Robbie. I've never succeeded in getting a swallow shot, yet. The second one is fantastic - looks like there'll be some youngsters soon? Her mind is on the practical side of things (nest material in beak)
