What's Buzzing or Flying near You Today..?? Mark 2..!!

Thanks everyone.

Strongy, yes, the unidentified one is on an Oleander leaf. I love your bird pics, especially the Great Spotted Woodpecker ones. :gnthb: You could easily have missed the female Bearded Tit, very well spotted. :gnthb: A wonderful and detailed pic of the robin, would make a beautiful Christmas card.

I was really lucky on Sunday. We were driving along and there, in the very same garden as about 2 weeks ago, was another flock of Wood Storks, this time, 19 plus 1 Egret!!!!!!!!!!

Mr K turned the car around and I got out very slowly and started taking pics.


There are 8 in this pic -










I caught this one as he flapped up from the lawn on to the roof -

Fantastic shots, Rob. :gnthb: :gnthb: I keep coming back for another drool. Thanks so much for sharing.

 

Rob, I look at Bird Guides every evening to see what has been reported and yes there are exceptional phots on iris, common and rarities.:gnthb:
No chance of such photos with my camera.

 

Great shots Kedi, are they tolerant of people, most are nervous.
They obviously mix well with Great White Egrets.

 

Some nice sun this afternoon so I took the opportunity to clean the kitchen window and fire off a few shots.

Excellent shots Dave. :gnthb:

 

:gnthb::gnthb::gnthb: Dave! Wonderful detail on all of them.

 

What at a treat to see such close ups of the Birds thank you.

 

Oh goodness my dear Mentor ... I have said before and I will say again ... I can only aspire to be half as good as you. :ntwrth: These are just stunning and should be in magazines. :luv:

And Rob photos now incorporated into this thread are as to be expected from a professional ... exquisite!

 

Brilliant Dave.Well done.
I thought they were from our professional Rob.

 

Fantastic Dave:gnthb::gnthb:, I particularly like the Coal Tit, a favourite of mine and the eye of the Blackbird is great too.
I presume you use a remote shutter cable.

 

No remote shutter or tripod strongy. The camera was hand held. I was only about five feet away from the feeder standing in the kitchen.
