Really good set - #1 & #5 are the standout shots for me. Are you sure it's safe wandering around down there ?

Hoopoes on The Wirral? I thought they sometimes come to the south of England but they must certainly have been lost to be so far north!
I did say 35+ years ago ! I remember seeing flocks of them in a field on 2 or 3 occasions. Not sure if they ever go that far North now since I've not lived in the UK for 30+ years.Hoopoes on The Wirral?

The second one is much nicer - that lovely 3D quality the T90 can give to low DoF shots. The first one has highlights blown (obviously strong sunlight coming through the windows) and the base is cut off.

I commented in that thread ... and it's a lovely shot ... but the problem I have with Flikr is that any shots you post there you are effectively donating to Flikr as they then have the right to sell or otherwise distribute your shots as they see fit - no matter what you say about copyright.

Absolutely amazing birds - #2 with the crest up is a classic catch.
But a sighting in Shanghai pales into insignificance compared to the kudos of actually having seen one on the Wirral
Ha Ha - thanks NG. I too love these birds which is why I was excited to maybe have the opportunity to see them again.Absolutely amazing birds - #2 with the crest up is a classic catch.

Oh OK ! I remember seeing a lot of these birds two or three times about 35 - 40 years ago when I lived on the Wirral. So it could have been true !Blythman wrote:
