It's not Rowan. I suspect Guelder Rose

Tiercel Dave · 03-09-2011 09:23PM

Is it Guelder Rose (Viburnum opulus)?

Dave

thanks lads, that looks like the one.

better not have a munch of those berries so.

Mothman i posted a while back a small black and yellow caterpiller that was on this plant.

Hi V Bull cracking shot of the black tern. Those are not little ringed plovers but ringed plover mixing with Dunlin. Little ringed plovers rarely show up in Ireland.

Thanks for the correction.

Perhaps a Mod could change that for me as I can no longer edit that post. Thanks

A good few Hares about today, they've been pretty scarce lately.

And one of the Buzzards paid a quick visit.

Stunning buzzard that also looks like it recently had a good meal

I know I've asked about cameras in the past but ... Is it the lens or camera that makes a good shot?

or the photographer ?

swifts need our help! · 07-09-2011 04:21PM

True

Googling cameras or looking at Jessops/Amazon makes me so confused

Pure Sound · 07-09-2011 04:23PM

Five Spot Burnet x 2

7 Spot Ladybird

Frog

Possibly a Meadow Brown Butterfly

I think its a bit of both but generally a decent lens is required

its a combination of lens, camera, person and location.You do need a fairly decent camera and also a good lens. I would recommend you visit this web site for general information on lenses and cameras. www.kenrockwell.com. when I am buying gear I always consult his site and it has never let me down. Also by asking people on this site and others you will find out what people are using, I think you will find that most people are using high to mid range Canon gear like the canon 5d MK2 or canon D7.

They're 6-spot Burnet. 2 spots in outer part of wing. The 2 spots nearest the head are often fused to make it seem like one.

Possibly a Meadow Brown Butterfly

Yes it is

Brilliant shots

whyulittle · 08-09-2011 10:48PM

Thanks.

I've seen your own excellent shots elsewhere - make sure to share them around here too.

Clearpreso · 08-09-2011 10:55PM

This is my fave thread on boards by a mile, love it, the standard is so feckin high on this thing I almost feel ashamed to post my stuff... But in reality we all know its the effort that counts, I love looking at every photo here, whether it was shot on a phone or a multi-thousand euro camera. Well done all.

Here are my newest few.

Long tailed tit

Great tit

Dun Laoghaire Pigeon

Just Hovering

And finally a rather grainy... Sparrowhawk? In glenageary

E39MSport · 09-09-2011 11:20AM

Nice pics.

Don't mind the embarrassment - I got used to it.

They're very complimentary of our mortal efforts (although yours aint bad at all)

It is a garden spider

swifts need our help! · 12-09-2011 03:45PM

I've only see dark coloured garden spiders. It's a spider that gives me the creeps along with house spiders and funnel webs
