mhku the fastest gun in the west, nice captures

Here's one taken on Monday morning over in France, quite pleased with the result, as these little birds don't keep still for long.

Taken with my E-500 using the Sigma 50-500mm lens at 500mm.

Here are some Bee photos taken with the 70-300mm lens, useful as it can focus down to 1m for near macro photography.

I like the bird one. I've been trying to get a good one of the sparrows in my garden- without much luck.

Urban fox from a few days ago and female great crested newts from last week.

Nice one! I got a big woodpecker in my garden, but so hard to get him. I don't have a large zoom anyway. Wil keep on tryng though

Our woodpeckers are fairly tame - the aduilts feed quite happily on the fat balls hanging on the bird table 8 feet from the living room windows

Must try and get a pic of the nuthatch that appears quite regularly too.

As the damn things are only a couple of inches high this was taken by lying full length on the grass

They are cute aren't they I watched the 'F' word last night (do not normally) and he went there to catch a couple of puffin which were killed and gutted on camera then marinaded and cooked, shame

Slightly out of focus but I only had a small point and shoot digital camera and its taken on extreme zoom. Its a Turnstone poking around on the waters edge on the coast in Iceland

Black Guillemots in Iceland

Aww arent they cute? They have the most amazing red mouths!

**rolfw** · 1 Week Ago

Was quite proud of this one, took a long time and a lot of shots to get it in focus.

Took a few others as well, can be seen over at Thames Valley Birds
