Blackcaps have managed to evade me so far... sods. :mad:

Fab shots the rest of them - have you rigged up a feeding station for the woodland birds, or is that at a local reserve?

Neat Image might sort out the noise on the nutty shot.

The Kestrel, Linnet and Gannets were at Bempton Cliffs in Yorkshire. The Blackcap, Woodpecker and Nuthatch were at the Lodge in Sandy (RSPB HQ) from "The Hide" i keep meaning to sort the noise in the Nuthatch shot just havent got round to it, been a bit busy lol

Cheers mate :)

I went to Bempton last year , It was that busy I coudnt even park the car ! Although we did see some Puffins but they were to far away for my 24-105mm :D

I like the Woodpecker shot but how come it as a ring on its leg ?

The woody was at the RSPB HQ in Beds i think a lot of their birds have been ringed.

Bempton was ok, think its early enough to miss school holidays, i bet in a week or 2 it will be hellish there ! Puffins were very few and far between !

Thanks for the comment though :)
