Hi All,

Spent the day out at the Falconry Centre in Thirsk, North Yorkshire (also did some walking in the same region). Below are some of the shots i took.

Nice shots :thumbs: 7 & 8 for me, I really like the shallow DOF in these shots really helps focus on the main subject. I think a few of the others are a but busy in the background.

I really like 2 aswell but what is it? :thinking:

LOL, good question. I saw it and thought "ooh a picture"..then "what the hell is that?".
From a distance it looked like a weird alien slug or something, but when i got in close it looked more like some sort of Fungi. I'm sure someone here will be able to identify it.

Thanks for the comments :)
