Birds for a change.

We went to Nanjizal Valley for the Juvenile Red-Backed Shrike yesterday, (thanks Monty).
Couldn't get very close, so these are a bit distant.






Not much else around but I did have a go at digi-scoping these Kestrels in flight.
One was over fields and one over the sea. John

    Great shots of the RBS, I went down but failed to find it. The digiscoped flight shots are brilliant. Digiscoping master class again.

    Lovely shots John seen a kestrel today on the farm. I am glad you got the photos of the Shrike one of my Favourite birds. Have been busy digiscoping on Penninis today seen my first Lapland Bunting one of five.

    These are all nice, but I really like the photo on the bottom right. He really stands out against that green water!

    I wish I had a better lens so I could do birds also but scratching through some things yesterday, I found an older 2x convertor which I want to try on my lens when I get the oppertunity.
