Thank you lynne.. my favorite is the first buzzard pic. it was
taken hand-held, the bird was hunting in a meadow, i set the
camera for 5 photos a sec.. but it was'nt easy as the camera and
500mm lens is very very heavy, and no time to set up my tripod,
so i'm quite happy with the result...

Yesterday was Cuckoo time, we saw three together, then one being
mobbed by a Meadow pipit.. the birds went a few times to the
ground.. unfortunatly they were too far for the lens I was
using, so no pics of them..
I searched for the Whitethroat again, but no luck, but I did get
another Sedge warbler, so a few pics of it, then the rain
stopped play.. As I was leaving Muirsheil county park, I noticed
a Common Buzzard sitting at the top of a tree, so a few pics of
that bird..
Then it was off to Roebank res.. there I got Canada geese, but
no Great crested grebes ..
Common Buzzard..
