| Amur Falcon - Falco amurensis |
Despite what I said in an earlier post, I DID come across Amur Falcons again once or twice in the autumn. Here are a few shots of one of these.

(Asian) Red-rumped Swallows - not an everyday bird, so worth an effort to photograph if conditions suit. Every individual seems to be differently streaked.

Must be a sign of my - Ahem - "Maturity" !
You are nothing if not a master of photographing birds in flight. As for maturity, I am sure that like fine wine aged in an oak barrel, it denotes nothing so much as superior quality!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder, David, - that's my position and I'm sticking to it !
DeleteFantastic BIFwork John.
ReplyDeleteThanks Stu - actually I'm getting too idle to carry the tripod here and there... hence more "BIFs" with the lens hand held.
