Or pigeons... I've never quite lived down being on the beach at Angel Bay and confidently shouting "kestrel" only be roundly abused by all and sundry as the "kestrel" alighted on the beach a few feet away looking much more like a pigeon

By the way, sad news for all raptor fans, and possibly Malham-ites in particular:http://www.ilkleygazette.co.uk/news/14802907.Police_probe_continuing_into_killing_of_Peregrine_Falcon_in_the_Dales/anyone know much about the range / population density of peregrines - whether the killed bird was likely one of those that frequents the cove?
Really pleased to finally get a shot of the Goldcrest in my garden, it moves so quickly and rarely comes out into the clear. Not a perfect shot, but best I've got for now.I was watching it a wren at the same time, waiting for one of the buggers to be properly visible.
What sort of camera are you using ?
Fucksake, we live in the same place, I've taken out a second mortgage to finance feeders and seed yet all I've got in my garden are sparrows and kestrels pigeons.
I'd love to try a 5d mk3, but the cost of the glass goes through the roof then when you lose the crop factor.
