Some pictures I took recently

whyulittle

Generally, 800 on the longest side is what photo forums look for.

Have a look at pix.ie, gives you simple options for displaying at set different sizes. It's Irish and free.

Great photo at any size though.

Mothman

I removed the 2nd photo because it was the same size as original
1342px × 2174px
As whyulittle mentioned, resize to 800px max

Went shooting gulls today, these two guys were hanging out on the quay of the Liffey, sitting around on the wall. I was between 1-2metres away.
The juvenile was calling out for ages


and the adult was very cool altogether

@why: Yes to Merlin.

Good stuff.

I had just told V Bull that I hadn't seen any Merlins a few minutes after taking those shots.

That's great to have it confirmed, the Merlin I saw was chasing some Greenfinches....

Here's one for WUL, taken yesterday in my back garden by Mrs V Bull .. Her shot is better than any of mine..hmmmmm

Traonach

The remains of a redpoll, plucked by my male sparrowhawk (I'm guessing). He should have been fat and tasty with all the nyjer seed I'm feeding them.

I had an unexpected half-day today after my call in Greystones area..:)

Rock Pipit..


Black Redstart..


Purple Sandpiper I think..please help ID..


Reed Buntings (counted 25+)..


Common Buzzard..

Greystones is my old home town and I'm occasionally out there visiting family. Be interested to see the confirmation of your sandpiper ID as I'm pretty sure I saw a bird just like your photo on the South Beach recently. Wish I'd see a redstart!

That little Black Redstart has been in the cove behind the old La Touche
hotel for a couple of months now, must be plenty for it to eat there as
he doesnt seem to be moving on.

stevensi

Just to confirm that is a Purple Sandpiper! Nice photo of the Black Redstart.

V Bull

Thanks stevensi for the confirmation on the Purple Sandpiper, I was 99% sure, Yes the Black Redstart is a cute bird, here's another for you, thanks again..:)

There was a dog running around chasing sticks the last time I was there; I didn't look for anything else. But thanks for that - I might get an earlier train next time I'm going over, and take a bit more time along the seafront.

Great pictures, what is the red coloured bird?

Clearpreso

Wow, some of my pics have become awfully pixelated... they look better on my end.

I think the red bird is a cardinal.

It is.

One from last year. Stumbled across a family of Swallows on a river bank.



Very much looking forward to their return.

whyulittle

Saw a post on BWI that they are stacking up in north-west Africa at the minute, 6 weeks earlier than normal.

V Bull

Hi Clearpreso, great photo's from Boston..

First photo is a Red tailed hawk.

Second photo, my guess is that it might be a male Downy Woodpecker, short bill and red dot to back of head.

Third photo is a Northern Cardinal.

Im not sure how many frogs are in this pic.
