Will have to check it out. I have a friend who's a park ranger down in Southern California who is a falconer, has a falcon which he brings to schools and does demonstrations and the like.

Thanks for that TET...Yes I captured it. The Sparrowhawk just continued eating its prey, and I managed about 400 images. These are more common than the Goshawk...I've still to get a good image of a Goshawk, but I will
I prefer going for flight shots, more demanding and difficult to lock focus onto, especially with fast flying birds like this Red Kite I managed to capture. Been doing wildlife photography for about 12 years now, and I love it...Gets you out the hoose and connecting with nature.

Thanks TET, I just do it as a hobby....I've entered two competitions, won both. But, don't really bother about all that, I just like taking the photographs. I have thousands of images, all stored on my imac. I do like helping folk. who want to be bird photographers, its not an easy type of photography, as you can imagine.

They really are great photos Lennono, my Mrs is into landscape photography she gets quite a few in the papers, she never gets closer than 2000 yards of anything that's capable of moving though so God knows how you get these! She's using a 5D and a 6D not sure what her lenses are, i take it you shop in the monster lense market?

Hi Hoopy….The Canon 5D and 6D are good cameras. I use the Canon 1DX Mk2, which is perfect for wildlife stuff. And yes, a big lens, but still need to get close to the subjects, so a good sense of fieldcraft is needed. Here is one of the images I won a competition with. I liked this one, especially the expression on the Red Kites face...'get tae fuck craw'
It also shows how big these Kites are compared to the Crow.
