  2. Sorry to digress..but, Hey Moll was that you shopping in Nettos in Ashington today
  3. Its still a thing with this site that you have to watch what your saying, some people just wont acept the fact that there are others that have more experience, ability and dogs better than them, some of the guys hunt in packs, goad you into something then the rest come in like jackawls..Its knowing when to get out of a thread, and not to get involved. Watch how I do it if any walk off`s reply in a negative way to this..
  4. Yeahh, white galinule it is then, ha,ha...wish it was, then maybe next week I might see a great auk, or even a dodo.. Yes leeview, not albino (no red eyes) its leucistic (black eyes) still quite rare, Ive been involved with the countryside for over 50 years and its the first Ive seen..
  5. Cant upload photos anymore!!!!

  6. Got some near me at Thornley woods
  7. Swallows swifts and martins are extremely difficult to capture, very fast and so unpredictable in their flight, some nice shots there though..well done for even trying..
  8. Thanks for the comments guys, Ive been sent this bit footage from a friends brother who lives in Canada..its REALLY top drawer stuff, IMO See what you think.. http://www.arkive.org/osprey/pandion-haliaetus/video-00.html
  9. Must be great to be able to photograph them, Im so envious
  10. Funny you should say a particular word..theres a guy in our camera club, very critical of anyones photographs, 3 year ago when I joined he was good enough to give me his expert opinion on my images, which in his opinon they were "CRAP"..Things like that stick in ones mind.

On asking, how would he recognise them, she told him he could not mistake them as they were the most handsome birds he would ever meet. Later that day, the ugliest looki

  12. Fantastic mate how long did you ahve to wait for that!? or was it a lucky moment? Cheers, got a few in sequence over a time, knew where the nesting site was so that hleped a lot..but overall, about 3 weeks work there..
  13. Been lucky in the past to have had a few pics of these in daylight in flight, (which can be very difficult to capture)this is another one Ive managed to get.

  15. Having a penis is like being strapped to a lunatic at times!!

  16. Thanks for the comments guys..the camera for these was a Nikon D700 and the lense a Nikon 400mm f2.8..But I usually use a Nikon 300mm F4, the 400mm will break your back through time
  17. Just get out, had to change it, ha, ha
  18. It all starts with a bird having a look.. The bird makes a dive and hits the water..sorry I couldnt get the dive but they drop like a stone..
