No Dave. A couple of years ago. I am just going through my archive stuff at the moment to post some images as you went to the trouble of creating the thread for me. I hope to start getting out and about for some new stuff soon and add to the 2013 list if I can. Great new look to the site by the way. |

Three amazing photos. Good detail on all of them. Well caught with the kittiwake and the nesting material.

We are going to Sweden for a few days in April. Would love to get some good shots of Great Grey Owl among other things. Otherwise a few days in Cornwall and hopefully a trip to Northumberland in June with a bit of luck. |

This is not a brilliant photo as it is a severe crop in, but I like the fact that the Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus) is coming straight towards the camera.![]() Marsh Harrier by timtapley, on Flickr And this one shows the lovely patterning of the wing. ![]() Marsh Harrier (Circus aeruginosus) by timtapley, on Flickr Edited by tappersnapper, Apr 1 2013, 10:32 PM.

Good luck with seeing Great Grey Owl Tim. I saw one in North America a few years ago and they are a magnificent owl. Cornwall has some delightful areas as well as Northumberland, Marazion Marsh in Cornwall is a superb place for bird photography and if you are planning your trip around mid August you might have a chance of seeing Aquatic warbler there. |

Red Kite (Milvus milvus). What a great success story for species reintroduction. An example of what can be achieved by those who do care. It is just a shame that they were persecuted so fiercely in the first place. And even more of a shame that they still are by a few ignorant self serving individuals.![]() Red Kite 2 by timtapley, on Flickr ![]() Red Kite (Milvus milvus) by timtapley, on Flickr |
