The first shot is a Canada goose you can just make out its young behind him, I think there was 4 babies.
2nd shot is a Jay, sadly it was just a little too far away to get the detail of the bird I would have liked.
3rd shot is a Nuthatch who was catching 40 winks in the heat and the 4th shot is a Great Tit.
Finally I will have to leave the ID to the experts, but I just liked the way it looked, I didn't have my macro lens with me so I took this at 500mm and I'm quite pleased with it.
All photos taken 08/06/2008, hope you like the photos.
perfect close ups.
ReplyDeleteWonderful bird shots! That jay is interesting...with just the little touch of blue on the wings. So different from what I see. The butterfly shot is great! It looks like it is on its own little runway readying for take-off.
ReplyDeleteThat Canada Goose looks quite serious. I imagine he was too since he was protecting his brood.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see a closeup of the jay. His feathers in his wing are very interesing.
Nice shot of the butterfly too.
The butterfly is a speckled wood, quite a feet to get a shot with your 500mm. I like the nuthatch shot, not an easy bird to see these days.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! I love seeing all the different birds you have there. I'm not good with identifying butterflies, but it's very pretty.
ReplyDeletenice images of your wildlife!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone and thanks for the ID John I knew someone would know.
