Honestly I'm just trying to open page 1001!

Still not?! Damn it... !
Turn for somebody else - I tried and lost (not because I have no photos to post but there should be some fairness).

Hi Alan.
Thank you.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi ISv.
I think the pages roll over based on number of posts not length of page, I think you need to get the post count up to 20 before the next page opens! Only three more needed!

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Alan.
Thank you.

Cheers, Graham.

On reflection, here's a Whitethroated Kingfisher I just took in Israel.

It was lucky that this Hooded Crow was flying sideways on rather than exactly overhead.

To have the first photo on 1001, here is a Mourning Wheatear in Israel via the 90D.

This is a rare Rock Nuthatch, which was far away and badly lit (5DSR/560mm)

Old british army jackets used to be red so blood wont show
Canon got that idea good too!

Interesting birds and very good shots Alan! Exactly for page 1001!
I was after the Rock Nuthatch during my vacation this summer and even hear it from the cliffs above but didn't see it... The rings on the legs are proof for how rare is the bird, like here on the Islands the ornithologists are taking special care of such a birds.

There are some very good ornithologists there and so ringing can be frequent. It wasn’t the best of images but it meant a lot to me to get. Thanks.
