This young Peregrine was chasing everything and anything on the reservoir yesterday, at one point it even had a go at a Goose

looks like it's a ringed bird, like they do with them on Nottingham Uni. Are most wild Peregrines ringed? - fantastic photo

It appears to be a bird ringed by the local ringing group, the colour is the identifier, unfortunately the bird did not land to get a clear ID on the number, and in flight they tuck the undercarriage up so the markings are obscured by feathers.

Generally the birds are ringed as chicks at the nest, we believe that this bird is 2H a locally ringed bird

Just to add love those underwater shots :thumbsup:

Would be nice to see a pic with something at the side of it dave to show off its bonsai glory :D

I thought about that too, but the balcony has so many plants on it that getting a decent backdrop is very difficult.  However, I thought this might confuse you even more.

The bear stands about 1.5" tall, though is sitting here.  I made him a few years ago.

I love Cassis, one of my favourite places to escape the madness of Marseille.  The local wine is excellent too. Thanks for posting Mal :thumbsup:

The winning images in the 2017 British Wildlife Photography Awards can be viewed via the link below to Sky News.

While some of them are excellent, I can't help but think that as far as some of the others are concerned, we've had better on here.

Thanks for posting Russell. As you say some very good photographs but in my humble opinion like yours, there's better pictures posted  on here . I was under the same impression regarding the BBC Country file calendar .
