Not sure if this is the right thread but with it being John Manship auction page. I've just heard that he has sold a Frank Wilson for a undisclosed amount.

As always thanks for posting 🙏

Had to share this amazing photograph taken by a guy called Mithun H, in one of the national parks of India he specialises in tracking big cats and has spent four years watching this panther and leopard pair . It took six days following the cats to get this particular one. Say again this is special

Just received this picture taken from the flats opposite the Casino. It clearly shows MrM,s in the middle of the photo attached to the main ballroom. Not sure if I've ever seen such a picture before.

Thanks Dylan. Really appreciated. I used my normal camera Canon 7d mk2 with a 70mm -200mm f2.8 lens. And a tripod for the comet picture for the wildlife I generally use a bit more of a specialist lens 500mm f4.

Never seen either Adult or Juvenile Dave, extremely rare as you know. Didnt you think to use your mobile mate

Last night's crazy colours at sunset over Liverpool Bay

Comet Neowise over Manchester at 1am . Wish i could have got out in the countryside and featured some buildings or mountains in the picture but a once in a lifetime opportunity had to be taken

There we go Fiona

Bloody hell George. I though you were selling your real ones for a minute.. Hope you're keeping safe and well mate.

Managed to see but not photograph Barn Owl, Peregrine, Buzzards, Kestrels and also seen for about a second the fastest declining mammal in the UK. The Water Vole and now i know where they are i will be returning on Monday evening with Apples to try and coax them out into the open. This is the first time in probably 40 years that i have actually managed to even see one. Got a few Sedge Warbler pictures, not the sharpest hand held ones i,ve ever taken but after a six mile walk in very blustery conditions i was more than happy so it wasnt a total waste of 11 hours

Pilot boat in quite rough seas off Hightown, Liverpool Bay at 6.30 am.

Well I'm finally getting out tomorrow visiting a couple of nature reserves for the first time since March. Barn owls, Sedge Warblers possibly water voles at one and waders at the other, tide dependant. 4 am start.

Great youth club record. Still like it now

Thanks Ali for the good wishes Puffins And a lovely swans heart Just for you X

Dave. Thanks for your kind comment. The birds are Snipe. Superb camouflage. Steve

Cant believe that the idiots are doing any work now when there's still nesting birds about.

Just entered the maximum of three photos into the BBC country file calendar competition . Not expecting any response but you can't win if you don't enter .

Cheers Andy. Find a suitable branch and stick it into the riverbank near where you see them and they will definitely use it mate. Be a good photo opportunity. Picked up the Vulture report from birdguides 2 weeks ago. It was getting mobbed by two Buzzards who like the Ravens in your link look tiny in comparison . Not really a twitcher but may go to have a look next week with the warmer weather that is forecast but will be full of tourists by then on holidays.

Male Kingfisher. For anyone who would like to tell the sexes apart the Male has a completely black beak while the female,s lower beak is orange Unfortunately i have never managed to photograph a female for a comparison

Excellent. Never caught a mullet. Tried a few times with breadflake but seemed to be striking 10 minutes to late even though it was as soon as the float moved or the line moved when using crust.

This is the book I've been waiting for. So pleased for you mate. If anyone's stories need telling they yours. Count me in Email sent. Steve

I'm going to stick my neck out and go 4K with how the prices are at the moment

Female Chaffinch. Just taken this picture at 7.32pm under the Rowan tree and Burberis bush in the gloom and drizzle of the back garden
