I know his stuff, he used to post on the same photography forum I did

That Kingfisher shot was in the Daily Mail, it was taken by Alan McFadyen. The Kingfisher is diving into a glass tank that is full of small fish, ... still a nice shot, it has been causing a fair few rows on facebook as to the rights and wrongs of the method used to get it.

Steve the human tripod ... ooh errr misses Anyway ... a couple of Turnstones enjoying a break in Lanzarote
-
More holiday snaps ... stood on our terrace taking these
-
Part ninja me Steve
-
More than likely Dave I have seen most birds doing this at some time
-
Dave it's auditioning for the next Pirates of the Caribbean movie ... Either that or it's what most birds do when they are resting
-
Yes we did thanks Steve ... here are a couple of my holiday snaps These were taken in the rocks below our patio, I managed to get to within 10 feet of the Sanderlings without spooking them
-
Sorry for the delay in responding Steve, but I have been away for a weeks sunshine Steve there is a Brown Hawker or a Migrant Hawker (also a Southern Migrant Hawker). Brown Hawkers have a distinct and unique amber coloured wing, which makes them easy to identify, which I do not see on the one in your photo. I would think what you photographed was a female Migrant Hawker. Migrant Hawkers are always the latest ones to appear, and with the mild weather we have been having they seem to have been around for a bit longer.
-
Cheers Peter, ... I like that you can see his eye through the wing on the second image ... but that is just absolute pure luck on my part

A Shoveler getting airborne ...
-
Kingfishers are getting more active, actually got one on a perch in front of the hide ... for a nano second
-
We cut down a few willow trees up in the marsh, which opened up the small brook that feeds the reservoir, which meant I got to see a few of these bombing up and down, even managed to get a couple static for a second or two
-
A Peregrine Falcon decided he fancied a bit of Lapwing for his lunch ... however the Lapwing had other ideas, and managed to avoid being first up on the menu
-
A couple of Migrant Hawkers from the weekend I wasn't carrying the right kit for these really, I was set up for shots of birds, so it was quite a challenge to find these using 700mm of lens
-
Had this on a tape in the car back in the early 90's, my daughter who was only a toddler asked why they were swearing on the song, when the "walk on" chorus kinks in she thought they were sing F*** Off
-
Here's a couple for the anglers on here, forget the hemp and tares, if it's Roach your'e after use a Cormorant We reckoned the Roach be a good one and a half pound fish

You can forward any suspicious email to spoof@paypal.com they will usually reply confirming if it is a scam, it also helps them track down those responsible for the scams
-
It was like winter yesterday morning, dark and cold ... in photography parlance the light was pants, especially when I was trying to snap the fast and erratic hirundines Here are a couple of Swallows I managed to get in the gloom
-
We had around eighty Cormorants at Belvide on Saturday, they started one end and moved along the reservoir "herding" the fish, as soon as one came up with a fish the others would mob it to try and relieve it of it's catch
-
Steve the one we had stuck around for a while so you may be lucky. One of my favourites, probably because they are not camera shy ... a Ruddy Darter
-
Lovely shots of the Bees Russell Here is a tricky one to get, a Brown Hawker ... not the easiest to spot when they do decide to stop flying around, and certainly one of the easiest to spook
-
Yours in an Adult Summer bird, my photo is a juvenile
-
Steve here you go ... our Sabines Gull, a scarce bird as far inland as Belvide, certainly generated a fair few quid for the club funds this one
-
We had a Sabines at Belvide a few years back, loads of twitchers turned up for that one
