Pied wagtail 100% Steve

Crawl into that money pit fella - better gear usually equates to better images, I've not looked back since I went Sony a7Riv + Sony 200-600mm G lens and ditched the Sony DSLR's

It's only money :LOL::LOL::LOL::LOL:

I feel like I have the devil on one shoulder and an angel in the other :LOL::LOL:
 
Always lovely to see a LEO owlet branched and get a record shot or two.

Poor light light under the tree canopy so settings were quite extreme @ 1/200th, f6.3, ISO 25,600

Thanks Guys,

This and the 'Little Owl' (earlier post) were taken with the Nikon 500mm f4 G ED, that I bought on here last week......it's a monster of a lens, which I won't be hand-holding, any time soon!

LBJ ( little brown jobbie) covers it Steve (y)
( well I think so anyway :D )
 
Could anybody ID this bird? It was taken at the bottom of my garden and unfortunately on my mobile and not my Nikon. So please excuse the quality.

Thanks Phil, the only thing that I could find in my book resembling it was a type of flycatcher. But didn't look exact, I'll try again tom for a better pic there was a pair of them.

Thanks Roger, it did briefly cross my mind because of the image a few posts up, but I didn't follow through. Now I've looked it up, its pretty obvious. I thought it might be a juvie Chaffinch because the colouring looked patchy. At least its a finch :LOL:

Thats very generous of you Ingrid, and if I've ever been snarky to you in the past on this forum I take it all back and offer an unreserved apology. To be honest, I'm not convinced it would help. I've just joined the RSPB and they sent me a book out on British birds but I'm still clueless.

I'm pretty thick skinned if you have but I don't remember :)
It has photos rather then the drawings many books have
If you change your mind let me know
