Hi all.
A few shots from a trip to wales last weekend. My first shots of a Curlew, 200mm, 1.4x tc and cropped.
Another oystercatcher shot and a herring gull i think.

Thanks for viewing. :)

Great stuff Phill. I really like the surroundings in #1. Very interesting. You wouldn't want to trip and fall in that.

Nice curlew shots, Phil. They sort of blend into the background a bit. At least that has been my experience. Hey and i also like the O-I-F pano. Looks cool.

Thanks Mitch,
I would'nt fancy a fall in it either, you'd be eaten alive by shelfish. :)

Thanks EdV, they sure do blend in. I was watching the Oystercatchers then noticed something move. Was a bit cloudy and cropped so not great but nice for my birding list. :)

Thanks Sindi,
I appreciate your comment. I'm pretty dissapointed with these really. Bad light, big crops and not enough time. :( Excuses!! :)
