    Some times your lucky, sometimes not. Maybe it's down to good fieldcraft, look at the number of times Ian Forrest gets good pics. - he knows where to go and when and we all benefit from that.

    Durham Birding

    Owls on Greenabella Marsh Got some good views of the short eared owls (2) on Greenabella Marsh on Tuesday from 1530hr until ca 1645hr. At one stage one flew straight over my head dropped on to the ground within 10yards and then flew off. When they're hunting, head down, they don't seem to see...

    which printer settings...

    I use the same printer. Make sure in the printer settings that the printer does not manage colour and let Photoshop do the colour management. This is the best way to get reliable colour prints. I still find however that the prints are darker than they show on my Sony screen even though it is...

    Yorkshire Birding

    Sorry I haven't replied earlier Helen, just picked this one up. I use a Canon 1D mkIII with a 500mm f4 ID lens. On the RLB shots I was also using a 1.4x converter. The lens is a bit of a brute for an old man like me and I can only get sharp shots using a solid tripod. The shots I posted are not...

    Yorkshire Birding

    A few more pics of the Rough Legged Buzzard still showing at Sleddale today. At times, when distant, there were two similar birds showing so I'm not sure whether the pics are all of the same bird.

    Yorkshire Birding

    Saw two birds flying together on Sunday in the same location but from some distance. I think one was this juvenile but the other seemed a lot darker so not sure whether it was a common buzzard or a RLB. The two birds grappled talons at one stage but again not sure whether fighting or jousting!

    Aggressive Kingfisher

    This bird was sitting on the pole as I entered the hide and got this shot as soon as I set up my camera. Very lucky really since after this spot of aggression towards another bird, it flew off and wasn't seen again that day.

    Nice and sharp this one, Ian. Still don't know how you manage to hold that 400mm so still - I have to use IS to get comparable shots - any tips!!

    The GWG was showing well on the ice at Salthome today. Just a little distant to get very good shots.

    One of my favourite birds. Not always easy to get a good exposure but this one shows detail nicely.
