A very secretive Black grouse coming into land on the lek taken a week ago while in the UK. Constantly battled bad light but this last morning the sun showed itself briefly allowing a few better illuminated images.

A desert little owl just outside Dubai presented a very difficult challenge as the contrast was minimal against the sand and its flight pattern very erratic to keep tracking. This one turned out OK

This red grouse cackled as he left. Taken in UK last week, Canon 1DX 400 f2.8 IS MKII

Hi Falcnr.
Very nice series of shots, well done on the owl, a sand coloured owl against sand must have tested you and the camera!
Great shots from everyone, give yourselves a pat on the back.

Cheers, Graham.

I have spent many a day waiting for kingfishers on the river that skirts our local park and a couple of years go they were very bold, not even bothered by people on the opposite bank, nor by dogs swimming in the water.
I think it must be a new pair the last year because they are far more shy.

This was taken with 7D and 100-400 (both Mk1) and cropped about 50% on each side

A rare little falcon came to visit in the mountains today. The shot is handheld @840mm, with the 5DSR and heavy cropped, so quality is so so. I believe this is a common Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), but I am not sure. I know there are lots of more qualified people than me out there, so any help would be appreciated.
