Birds Of Prey

[GedR]

Went to Delemere Forest this afternoon with the family. There were some birds of prey and managed to get a couple of reasonably close shots. Both taken with Nikon D70s and 18-200VR.

[russbeer]

great stuff. Were these bad boys just stood around the place? They weren't at a bird sanctuary or anything? Very good captures if wild!

[GedR]

The birds were sat on perch about 6 feet away. TBH didn't want to get within the range of the beaks/claws so tended to keep to a safe distance.

These look amazing.

Went to a bird of prey show when I was on holiday last year (Zoomarine, Algarve) and loved every minute of it.

There was also a woman with a Tawny Owl in our local shopping centre (Braehead) during the week, they're amazing creatures.

great shots

took quite a few photo's like this myself but prefer to try and get photo's of em in the wild
going to get myself down to mid wales some time next year to get some shots of the red kites
the best we can manage up here are common buzzards and kestrels and the odd marsh harrier

best place I've ever seen red kites was just outside the M25 near Egham on way home to Boro must have been 30+ & they were masive like handgliders (cant remember the road name we were on tho)
