Hoopoes

Back to my trip to Extremadura, Spain last April for Hoopoes. Always a nice bird to photograph, although we were quite limited with the variety of shots we could get from the hide, with one perch near the nest. Luckily they did venture on to the grass below.

Cattle Egrets

I have just returned from a another trip to Mallorca. Apart from the usual species there is always something different to photograph there. This time I managed to photograph Glossy Ibis, which has only been breeding there for a couple of years. I also spent a bit of time concentrating on Nightingales, a species we don't get here in north west England. I'll post a few images here from my trips, as I add them to my main site. First off are some Cattle Egrets, most of these are of a very tame bird from last October.
