...or Bonxies, as we call them. Here's a few from today - had to duck to avoid being hit:)

And a couple of some slightly less agressive species!

Those Bonxie images are really good Crieffy ... :thumbs: ... liking them a lot and they really are a great looking bird even if they are aggressive bullies to pretty much every other living thing ... :eek: ... and if that third one was that close I hope you had your crash helmet on ... :suspect:

The Fulmar is also a very nice image with loads of detail ... :thumbs: ... and the Wheatear was a teensy challenge ... ;)
