EDIT: Unfortunately all my original image links are now broken. My photographs are now hosted at Flickr and on my website. Links to both of these sites are in my signature section.

Apologies for any broken image links that are now showing in any of my threads or posts.

Thanks,

Mike

Yeah, these small birds are hard to capture in flight. Pretty good result on the second one. All three are nice shots!!

Great pics Mike. Interesting you caught the magpie dunking the bread in water. Not a lot of people know they do that on a regular basis :D

Thanks Scrumpy :-)

Yes, it's quite amusing to watch the magpies do that. The crows do it as well. Almost as amusing as watching them wandering around, gathering up a huge beakload of bread! :lol:

Great shots mike , yep i always get some blur at the wingtips also seems to be a thing with the smaller birds ,i reckon its because their wings beat faster , [well i might be right]
