    Tree goose

    North Lincolnshire UK. April 2024. My wife spotted a goose flying into trees from quite a distance. I was a little skeptical but sure enough a perched goose bottom, high in a Scots pine. Aware this is not uncommon in Canada geese in Canada and there have been reports of greylag perching in...

    Northern Gannet. Note the characteristic ‘black eye’ of a bird that has probably survived avian flu.

    Stunning bird, thanks for posting. Interesting kit combo. I use the 7D mk ii + CANON 300mm 2.8 mkii +/- the x1.4. You are shooting at an equivalent of 672 mm with the cropped sensor. How do you find that combo in low light.

    Bird of prey over my garden in Sevenoaks, Kent UK

    Just assumed the bard was refering to a red kite. Didn’t occur to me they may have been black kites. Is this a long standing debate in the birding world?

    Bird of prey over my garden in Sevenoaks, Kent UK

    Shakespeare refers to red kites and crows on the streets of London. The kites fed on discarded food like gulls at a rubbish tip. They also snatched linen from washing lines as bedding for the nests. The chihuahua is safe but your Y-fronts are in imminent peril 😂

    Love this shot Ian (and the others you’ve recently posted). Technically good and fantastic character portrait. You‘re really good with the olly 150 -400. I struggled with the lens in low light.

    Rare trapdoor spider rediscovered in Portugal

    Amazing. Thanks for posting. I’m just getting into macro photography and fascinated by the hidden lives of insects and arachnids.

    OM-1 with Olympus M.Zuiko 150 x 400mm TC Pro

    Hi Niels - Have decided to focus on macro photography after 17 years of mainly bird photography. I may go back to the OM 300 F4 in the future. It is a brilliant lens. Using the 60 mm macro. The quality of in-camera stacked images of fungus and insects is fantastic and low light is not an issue...

    OM-1 with Olympus M.Zuiko 150 x 400mm TC Pro

    Raided my savings and part-exchanged my Zuiko 300mm Pro for the 150 - 400mm. Still squirming with guilt over £6799. Here’s a (very) brief amateur review. Much more comprehensive reviews are widely available. This is aimed at those who are put off by the price. Build quality is excellent. It...
