 An underrated species

Stock Dove

appear to be getting commoner locally although not on a par with Woodpigs of course

Stock Dove and Woodpigeon

seldom appreciated species

5D4 first day out

not quite but the first day trying to blast off a few sample images; after much soul searching went for a Canon 5D4 in my continuing quest for a lighter weight camera set up used with the Canon 400 DO2 and 1.4III converter -- variable cloud cover and cold wind today so not much bird action locally -- herewith a series of first fly by grabs and an under canopy Willow Warbler  Mallard in a shady ditch -- IQ seems amazing and lack of noise really significant but early days -- dull day Swifts are often a good indicator
