    New series of birds of prey I've been working on:

    2009-08-05-eagles-flying-5394-b-lj.jpg

    2009-08-05-eagles-flying-5434-b-lj.jpg

    There's also Griffon Vulture, Falcon, Young Eagle Owl and Golden Eagle

    All were taken on an afternoon at the raptor centre in Sligo.

    These are excellent Albert. I especially like the Griffon Vulture. Can't really give a C&C. If I could nitpic anything, It would be to see some shots with looser crops.

    Thanks oshead, the tight crops are intentional - some were cropped down from wider originals. Some will disagree, I know, but I think close-ups make for better pics in these cases.

    Thanks, yes the first one is an Eagle Owl. Another of the ones in the series is an Eagle Owl, except it a younger one not yet fully developed

    I think you will have started a glut of predator bird shots for this forum. I'm going up there next Monday. Can't wait. I'll be pleased if my shots are any way near as good as yours. :pac:

    I know someone else already posted photos from the centre before on this forum, but it was quite a while ago, I don't remember who it was. Enjoy the show, it's really good! and see if you can manage to get a decent shot of any in flight - I couldn't :)

    Well I hope the light stays soft and overcast much what you had. Hopefully not too dark to catch them in flight.
