As some of you know who follow this thread, I like posting pics of LTT's who visit the garden on a daily basis.....Anyway, I have noticed one from the group has a short tail and this week I have managed to get a couple of snaps of him, although none direct of the rear.
Could this be a junior or is it deformed..........any thoughts?
Some pics.

Couple of photos of some other garden visitors. Must say, enjoying using a 300mm f4 lens again and a little better light.

Buzzard
Been trying to follow this one since I first saw it as a youngster on 7th December - seems to have set up a territory around us - I think the second image is the same bird, taken yesterday - has a regular flight pattern around the place but will now not let me get anywhere near - sees me coming miles off
7th December - a lucky shot - striking looking bird
Taken yesterday - 9th Jan - obviously a large crop

Thanks, they are regarded as pests (in cities) down here and are very agressive, hunting in packs, towards other birds.

Just about to wash some dishes and noticed a large bird go into our hedge, the camera was on my tripod but the bird was obscured by my rotary line and perch, managed to get the camera of tripod and the bird landed on my fence. So excited forgot to adjust the EC and was shooting into bright light, so photos didn't come out as hoped. Managed six photos.
Anyway, managed to have a play around with the sliders and managed to get something out of them to add to my list.
Male Sparrowhawk I believe?
What the camera seen.

We have a Robin who seems to live in one of our trees. The bird is very shy and off it goes if it sees me or the camera and I have been trying for nearly a year to get a half decent perched shot, as it's always on the ground picking up the scraps from the feeders. Couple of days ago it decided to land on one of my perches, so managed a couple of photos.
They're supposed to be timid birds, but this has been a challenge for me

A very nice looking example of one. I'm well impressed by what you managed to bring out of the silhouette.

Thanks Jan, it amazes me sometimes what you can recover from the data on the D750, it compensates for my usual user error.

An absolutely beautiful morning here today, to try and wean mysefl off the SEO addiction, went for a walk with the missus, took mi camera and hardly owt about ....I'm no birder but found the lack off birds a bit strange
Then I saw these two and realised why.......they were on look-out!
As well as the two Jackdaws?? an obliging robin, GSW but only a glimps, a flock of Fieldfare (wish I could have got a lot closer :banghead and a Buzzard eyeing up a flock of Lapwing
