Beefsteak 305 Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 The following are a few 'new' species (For me any way) I'll leave them unanswered for a bit then I'll tell you what they are, a couple are very similar to British birds. It's nice to see Flickr is being generous again !! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Beefsteak 305 Posted March 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 18, 2012 The answers are (and well done too):- A Thekla Lark ...(Yup, new one on me too!!) B Little Egret C White Headed Duck.. (Thought it was a Ruddy Duck too till I cheched my book and noticed 'matey boy' in the picture only had the black "Toupee" on top of his head and not down his neck too. D Indeed a Griffon Vulture, (Slightly miffed as at first I thought it was a "Spanish Imperial Eagle" . Still a nice catch though !!) E Actually a "Lesser Kestrel" (about half the size of ours!) And post 2 was indeed a Starling , caught at the same time as the Lesser Kestrel, and in the same light, I just liked the ambience of the shot ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
