Bird Watching a Relaxing Hobby

[CarolsHusband]

My cousin had a Muscovy it was so mean and would chase me and bite me and it hurt I hated that duck.

Apparently they're more goose than duck. Which would explain it.

Had another chance to see Red Kites at close range as we are looking after a house in Marlow Bucks.

Great shots of a great bird Steve. One of the conservation success stories aren’t they!

Nice pic Steve. Last week my daughter and I seen a Coopers Hawk chasing a dove it was way too late to go for my phone one of the neatest wildlife moments I’ve seen.

Well cool. I see the ring neck parakeets are moving out of London then. I wonder when they’ll come west?

They are on their way Tim - today in Marlow Bucks !

And the inevitable Red Kite shot !

Caught these Geese flying South about 2 weeks ago. You have to look closely winter here has official started

At the risk of being boring! This is my latest Red Kite shot .... Again in Marlow Bucks, quite pleased considering it was with a compact camera through a double glaze window :tears-of-joy:

The low sunlight really lights up the under side of the wings and show the colours pretty well ....

This will be my last Kite shot, I promise!

[Tim Marlow]

Never get bored with Kite shots Steve, fantastic birds that were just not seen even a few years ago. One of the great reintroduction successes.

Some of my better shots from the Farnes and bempton - hope you enjoy looking.

Well, despite it being the warmest day here for at least a couple of weeks, we also had some geese flying in a SW direction this morning. Not sure how far South they're headed or whether it's just to a large reservoir about 5 miles away. They were certainly making plenty of noise!
