Fens barn owl and banded demoselle

Before next summmer I'm going to have to get a macro lens for insects but for now the Canon f4, 300mm does the business for large butterflies and dragonflies.

A couple of Farne Islands and local pics

A few recent flight shots

Rock dove and Gannet at Bempton Cliffs , the Hobby at Lakenheath the rest locally in Cambridgeshire. The young crow ventured a little too close to the peregrines young and nearly paid the price. Luckily it just managed to present its feet to the stooping falcon which as you can nearly pulled its legs off with brute force. The peregrine then released it and went up for another stoop which the badly shaken crow managed to evade by scrambling into some bushes. Click photos for larger images.

More Lesbos

A few more shots from kalloni saltpans - what a fantastic place for photography.

Several hundred were around the saltpans while we were there. At one stage I saw a flock of 300 individuals!

Lesbos first batch

I have only managed to process around 15% of my Lesbos shots; here are a few examples of what I've found so far. Don't forget you can duble click for a closer look.

Lesbos shots coming soon

Cley birds

For various reasons I haven't has much chance to take any photos over the last few weeks so here are a few shots from Cley from a few weeks ago.
