I always remember dear old Nom who was very knowledgeable about all sorts of birds, and he always used to say what he was photographing. I think Gasman does as well, when he contributes.
Perhaps it is because some people are interested in angles and shots and lighting etc, and some are more interested in the species itself, like Nom was a 'bird man.' do you think?
Sorry if I sound difficult, it was only a suggestion.
I would just love to know what some of these striking looking birds are, that's all.
I have noticed many put interesting photo's up of impressive buildings etc, but never say what they are, or even what country they were in.
I'd best pipe down.
There are lots of wildlife photographers around nowadays with some powerful equipment. Twenty or more years ago they would have been just watchers with binocular ...

Corvus Corvus- my Nemesis!Supposedly the crow is very intelligent but that does not stop it attacking its own reflection in my dining room windows as it thinks the reflection is a rival. Imagine somebody banging on your windows at 5am and also attacking the wooden window frame and shredding it. Hmm lovely creature.
I found that the only way to stop it is to stick clingfilm on the window to break up the reflection- but then it moves to a different window. Move house or the shotgun?

Perhaps I could try sticking some of the raptor photos to the windows but I don't think that would work for more than a day. Corvus is too intelligent to react to something not moving.
A bill to replace the window frames is hefty- armour plated next? Anyone got a peregrine falcon I can borrow?
