About 15 mins from where I live is Down holland Moss and Plex Moss, Plex moss has been mentioned quite often recently in bird guides due to sightings of Whimbrel, sadly I didn't see any, but I did get some shots of a Curlew.
The last shot is a Kestrel, which was actually the first bird I came across, and I was very pleased when I got home how it came out, It was far away on a telegraph pole and the photo is heavily cropped.
All photos taken 21/04/2008.
Hi Mike! Even though your Kestrel shot is cropped, it's very nice.
ReplyDeleteAs always, I thoroughly enjoy seeing your shot of birds that I don't get. They're beautiful!!
Mike great blog you have here. wonderful kestrel picture. They are much larger in the UK than in the US. Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteVery good pictures Mike. I haven't seen a curlew in a long time. We have American Kesterals around here.
ReplyDeleteI don't know what a Whimbrel is, but I'd certainly settle for a Curlew! Very nice photos of it. I love seeing water birds since I don't live where I see a lot. The kestrel looks great and I would not have known it was a heavily cropped photo or distant.
ReplyDeleteOh Mike! These are really fantastic shots!!! I would love to see these birds.
ReplyDeleteMike,
ReplyDeleteNice Curlew shots, wish my Whimbrel shots had come out as good!
Thanks everyone. It really is a great place for birds.
