Malt 379 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 No pal, that was a display at the National Botanic garden of Wales a few weeks back.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 14, 2017 Report Share Posted June 14, 2017 Nice pic Malt, a few years back we had a guy come to South Manchester and do a display in the local park with his birds, and he explained about using them for pest control and hunting which is rare to hear in a city. Saw a couple of tiny wrens today, went back out with the camera and the place was like a graveyard lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 I'm not a happy camper, my photos are all coming out like crap. I have these two which aren't particularly good but is this a Grebe and a Shag? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nik_B 3,790 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Oyster Catcher.....I'd never seen one till a few years ago but it's a running joke with the wife and I now...."Oh it's just an Oyster Catcher" Striking birds, not sure where the turnstones are at the moment, they should be about!

Thanks, it was quite interesting to watch it feeding, I think next time I go over there I'll go on my own so I'm not rushed and take the tripod with me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

zandy01 3,575 Posted June 18, 2017 Report Share Posted June 18, 2017 C1.JPG What bird is that? They look like meadow pipets to me Nik... They're the little birds that cuckoos secretly lay the egg in, then the 2 small host parents feed a chick that gets over easily 3-4 times the size of them... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
