    Fantastic photos Mike. Just love birds of prey. I've always said I'm 'coming back' as a buzzard but I would have to be vegetarian one as I can't stand looking at raw meat let alone eating it! :D

    Sorry for the delay in refreshing the list - but all up to date as of the last post now :)

    Glen - Very well done on the challenge photos! Some really cracking photography there.

    Dorset Mike - I love the Eagle Owl shots - my favourite Bird of Prey! Where is this Wildlife Centre - looks fantastic - I saw your fox and badger photos from there too. Marvellous!

    Capney and Clematis - great additions!

    Shiney - lucky you having pheasants... tailed or otherwise! Perhaps Oscar could tell you what happened to the rest of it??!!

    Strongy - Beautiful shot of the Hooded Merganser

    WOO - what a spectacular Cormorant photo - out first close up of one!

    Thank you everyone who have helped to make this a lovely photographic thread.

    Keep watching those skies!

    Great photos everyone :thumb:

    Hi Cookie,
    good to see you back. Oscar is gradually taking over more and more here :D but he doesn't go after the pheasants.

    He brought a young squirrel to me the other week and had a very proud look on his face. :)
