    Took a walk round Bushy Park for lunch and got this fella Happy Hawker by Martin Billard, on Flickr Happy Hawker by Martin Billard, on Flickr

    I usually only post wildlife shots here but I thought there might be some people keen to see some planes. I had a fantastic time at Goodwood yesterday even though getting there through the traffic was a pain. Stood next to a chap who had a Tigermoth and he had a mate who had owned a Spitfire. He had some cracking photos taken with a go pro so the 2 hour wait went quickly. We even had a couple of incoming planes which we so low overhead I could not focus on as my lens was not wide enough. Dead on 2pm they started to take off and the smell and sounds of Merlin engines just filled the air and

    Ta he is a git so looks can be deceptive. I don't think anybody flies there as I would have seen them, there are some fields nearby where I know they used to train birds. It is not ringed see below. You could be right, I expected it to be as that is what I usually see and here. There were another 2 birds circling a lot higher up and it was too big to be a hobby This is my next frame at 100% mag and not as clear ID shot by Martin Billard, on Flickr

    LOL and thanks. Last spring I was in a local field talking with a pro photographer with big (500mm lens) whilst out walking my muts. He said there was a big lack of wildlife this year and he was wasting his time, I pointed out a barn owl about 300m away, a Roe Deer in the next field and a fox on the towpath nearby. In the same field I have seen a Cuckoo, Short Eared Owl, Little Owls, Kestrels, more deer, pheasants, Voles, loads of Damselflies, Dragonflies, Butterflies and loads of birds I did not ID. It is out there you just have to look at the right time.

    Took these whilst out walking the dogs on Wisley Common, got three horse fly bites for my trouble though. These are my favorite things to photograph. Dragons in flight, they are stunning creatures to watch and with a bit of practice with manual focus they are reasonably easy to get flying.

    Did it find what it was looking for? Great pics
  13. PINNACLE
    Very nice and the mono sepia conversion really works. The gas mask stands out.
  14. PINNACLE
    Great set of photos, the deer does look close were you in a hide?
  15. PINNACLE
    Either a 70-300L or a 70-200L with or without x2 converter. With my photos if you click on them, all the camera and lens details are there in the exif info.

    Took this yesterday on Thursley Common, Surrey. Not the best pic but really not sure what it is either. The closest I could figure was a Marsh Tit but stand to be corrected
  22. PINNACLE
    Very nice, I still have never got a Kingfisher so you are lucky just to see them
  23. PINNACLE
    That looks wet, good to get anything in that weather
  24. PINNACLE
    Thanks for the comments That is what someone else has said on another forum so looks like what it might be which is a result as never got one not flying before. Thanks for that. With flickr images you can click on the photo and it will show all exif info but in this instance it was my trusty Canon 1DMKiv with 70-300mmL
