Got these this afternoon whilst out for a drive in the car, first time I've been out with the camera in ages.

I love the 2nd - superb colour - The third has the whites kind of blown out and needs more sharpening I think.

Was that last one in the wild? You must have got really close to it. Great capture :)

Hi,

thanks, I prefer the 2nd shot as well, yeah the swallow is nothing special but it was my first go at them. The Buzzard was wild and I noticed it from the car as I drove along, I spotted 3 more on my route that night but couldn't get a shot of them. The one posted was 1 of only 2 shots I got off before it flew away.
