Thanks!
I really liked the P900...the P1000 is just outstanding, sooo much fun to use! (for me at least, I appreciate it is not everyone's cuppa).

I had forgotten we had discussed the P1000...have you got it eventually?

OwlEye

No, not yet, l'm hoping the price will come down a little. I only got the P900 at the beginning of the summer so am still trying to get to grips with it. Maybe for next Christmas .

Lovely shot of the Cormorant - they look really great with that silver/grey plumage on the back of the head!

Did you ever read the ring on its leg?

Thanks OpenYourEyes


The last time I got a 'decent' shot of the ring - I enlarged and sharpened it - and sent it to a guy called Thomas Kealy whose name and email address I found on line as being a a cormorant ring coordinator


He thought the ringing was originally done in Wexford and was going to check further... heard nothing since
Have forwarded him this one again this morning

Peregrine Falcon...shortly before starting courtship display with its pair.

I think this is the male, can anyone tell?

As this thread approaches 10k posts and will probably soon be closed, I'd just like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone who has taken the trouble to upload images. It really is a stunning collection with many many award worthy photos and I always thoroughly enjoy reading it.

A big "Hear Hear" to that.


Though I'm sure we'll have a Part II.

Agreed, great shots, knowledge and fun.

And a big thanks to the Moderators for keeping us all civil!

Just to let you know (hope you don't mind) but that Godwit is in fact a Black Tailed Godwit and not Bar Tailed.
