Hi Stuart.
Great shot, how do you know he was a BK customer rather than other burger chain? ;D
Cheers Graham.

On the fast food theme I give you these two gulls. There were a lot of fries on the ground before I knelt down and got into position to shoot. Quite gluttonous little fellows.

Rare morph of a female Common cuckoo - Cuculus canorus. The reddish brown form is very rare, and yet this is the 3rd one I've seen over the years that I've been out and about chasing the feathered friends.

Now, let's go ultra-rare. A lovely fellow that had me driving for a few hours to get a chance to listen to the song and watch the behaviour. It didn't disappoint at all.
Subalpine warbler - Sylvia cantillans

Last one for the day. Can't categorize it as a BIF, but the first time the feet were off the ground for a young White stork - Ciconia ciconia. The adult was very displeased with some behaviour going on in the nest, and grabbed it over the head and lifted it up and relocated it. It's the first time I've watched anything similar going on in a nest. Not just a lucky shot of a brief happening, she/he had it dangling for up to a minute.

Hi Jack.
Does my grandmother hanging my mum or aunt (can't remember which) from a coat hook by their coat collar when they were being naughty count.
Cheers, Graham.

IslanderMV, it usually does and for sure in this case. I tried myself and haven't had much luck with this guy.
In fact I'm determined to persist with this lady if I can ever get some sunshine because ISO 12800 just doesn't cut it. She's just landing so Alan not really a bird in fright.
