The Whimbrel in flight is particularly impressive when enlarged, beautiful! Well done with the Bearded Tits, an excellent sighting and photos. I also liked the lined up Sika Deer.<br /><br />So sorry that Carol's foot is (as I feared) still troublesome. I hope her appointment comes through soon and that they will be able to help her.ShySongbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08148381873578585910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-16008226129506786012012-05-07T10:19:37.604+01:002012-05-07T10:19:37.604+01:00Full marks for persistence and effort Greeenie.

Swifts aren't hirundines, by the way, they belong to a different family and indeed a different order. Convergent evolution has made them look so alike that it's strange to consider that swallows are more closely related to crows and swifts more closely related to hummingbirds than they are to each other!Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10664459716979166280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3297012542834525300.post-5066080895278530922012-05-06T18:05:21.406+01:002012-05-06T18:05:21.406+01:00Got some nice hirundine photo's there Greenie,...Got some nice hirundine photo's there Greenie, its hard to capture them in flight :-)<br /><br />Looks like that raptor could be a Marsh harrierWarren Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042798315431561018noreply@blogger.com
