Cormorants

I love this pic. They are like two showmen taking to the stage, a double act of magicians: something like Sigfried and Roy! :pac:

No- it's the Tamron lens with the same focal range

Very close to being readable in that first image. Well worth trying to read it - they can make interesting journeys outside the breeding season, and can live to a good age!

These guys regularly sit on the side of the waterfall just behind where I live( as well as on top of the old Dublin Laundry chimney)- so will make a big effort to get the ring number:)

With pleasure I actually need to get better at getting reading rings. If I go over to your area will let you know,

I was planning to go looking for the Red Grouse tomorrow morning after last week's success though...althought still too many dependencies!

And here she is...Red Grouse, Dublin Mountains...very bad light this time though.

Whatever happened to black forest? Now that they have finally figured out the embed, and no more pictures? I liked them and would like more.

Have to look up a few shots from summer. There might still be a few left.;)

At the moment my prepaid mobile connection is down at 65kbs. So at the speed of early 90s. No chance to upload anything. Remember these blinky and beeping old modems? :pac:

Wheather here is just foggy so i will have to wait till winter really kicks in. Frozen ponds make nice stills.:D
