I'm not a fantiastic photographer of wildlife.... of any kinda animals in fact, but I thought I would share some of my fave birds with you......
comments welcome.

That last one is a superb pose, tack sharp, and nice composition. Deserves a choccy biscuit ...at least!

What do you mean "you're not a fantastic photographer of wildlife"??? I totally disagree

These are really very good imo! I love the sleepy expression in the owl's face, although I think the shot could do with being a little brighter. Easily solved with a levels tweak. I agree with CT, the last one is fantastic, although I really do like No4 as well. The tight crop is perfect for the shot.

How 3D is that last shot? You feel like you could walk round that bird!

Thanx all, everything apart from the wild buzzard were taken at a very small bird of prey place at Turnberry in Ayrshire and the guy let me get really upclose and personal with the birds seeing as it wasnt a nice day and there was no one else about.!

Hi soupy!
The hawks and owl were shot using the fuji 9500, the buzzard was taken using the Canon and the 75 - 300 but I didint have my tripod! BIG mistake!
