These are busy collecting feathers for their nest near me, so I just wait and shoot. I always think they're the bird equivelant of monkies for some reason, especially when they travel as a flock/troop.

Hi Tim
Im feeling left out that i dont have a decent LLT image,As you are a man with good cloning skills i would suggest cloning out the twig behind the head apart from that no complaints

This really shows the bird nicely and in particular the tail... I would def consider trying to remove the twig behind the head.....

A really nice shot.... incidently the previous clutch of youngsters hang around and help the parents with the care etc of the new batch.... wish my kids would do the same.. :biggrin:

Hi Tim

I'm begining to feel that I'm the only person without a really good shot of a LTT as there have been so many great images on the forum and this is another!

Thanks for your comments on my barn owl.

As for the LTT, stonking!

Really excellent Tim - though I do agree about the stem behind the head. It may be that it's because it is parallel to the perch that it seems particularly intrusive. Very minor nit though; it's a lovely image.

Hi Tim
See your D2h is still going strong, and your producing some great looking shots. Pity about the second twig but otherwise a very nice image.
Major.
