Glossy Ibis

Glossy Ibis eating a bullhead fish (I think) at the edge of the river, as seen on Saturday at Hungerford, Berks. Cropped in a little to show the fish better.

I went to WWT Barnes on Sunday for a few hours, the light was nice, but there wasn't too many birds on show I did see this lovely Great Crested Grebe...

Do you mean the entries are supposed to be bird'S as opposed to bird?

Just the sort of question I would expect from you Just migrated back for the summer have we?

I'm not usually much of a bird photographer, but I did test out my 75-300mm lens that came with my 1000D the other day.

Being relatively new here I've never looked at these challenge threads before: is it a competition with a winner chosen or is it just for fun?

 

[Joe T]

Hi - once the competition is closed we then have a poll which is open for all and sundry to vote. The winner gets to chose next months theme.

Thanks, If I'm feeling brave I might enter. I see the theme must be quite flexible looking at your entry :rules:

Here's mine:

I don't think it's of that high quality for a competition, but I think it's so funny anyway

First ever effort. Hope I've got it right!

Taken at The Ark, Evesham yesterday, I love the way the beak colouring compliments the feathers. Cropped

I dont know how strict the rules are for "on the water" but this is my entry.
Taken at Hatch Pond in Poole, a stroke of luck finding his stomping ground

 

[Icee]

When is the result for this posted and a new challenge going up?

 

[Joe T]

Sorry for the delay in getting the poll up! Voting is now open! The poll will stay open for another 7 days and then we the winner will pick next month's theme.

"Months" here in Birds has it's own special time!

 

[Joe T]

Congrats to Will H and duck pond for a joint win!

Do the two of you want to come up with a theme and let me know? I'll then get a new thread setup!

Congrats again!

 

[Duck_Pond]
