Birds with Pointed Wings

Swifts, a Cuckoo and Hobbies at Lakenheath today. 

Rye Meads Kingfisher

Relatively slow shutter speed for this fast little bird - 1/500th second.  It's also small - these are big enlargements from a focal length of 560mm at a distance of more than 25 metres.  

Beatrice and Mollie go for a Drive

They went to Lavenham, Suffolk, a town full of wool, half-timbered houses and thatched pubs, and stopped for cream teas in Finchingfield, Essex. (Mollie is the Midget and Beatrice is the MG Bea.)

Wicken Fen's Hobbies

The middle photos, taken against the light, show the hobby about to catch an insect, then eating it (and there is a sixth of a second between these two frames) and the others are just pictures of this pretty falcon.

Wicken Birds

Chiffchaff with grubs, Cuckoo leaving a perch and Hobby eating on the wing.

Birds Again

Turtle doves in the rain on Friday, and a Wren in the dry on Saturday.  

More from Old Warden

The German training glider without swastika; the Hawker HInd taking off, and the Optica.  Both Hawkers in the air - Hind and Demon.
