apologies Fred, i really think I`m mixing with the wrong sorts these days. On bird watching though I`ve not been out for a while, I usually have a run up to leighton Moss in the winter when the trees are a little barer, I`ve seen osprey, bittern, bearded tits, marsh and hen harriers up there along with lots of waders like black and bar tailed godwits/forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

Some fantastic togs on there Fred, thanks for the link. /forum/smilies/smile_smiley.gif

I like to get out with the camera in the spring and try and snap a few of our feathered friends. Unfortunately the light has been minging through the early part of the spring and I haven't had too much success.

I did get a few nice snaps of this little Fox cub though. He, his mother and two siblings are sharing one end of a badger sett.

Nice pic of the fox Chris.

"Bearded Tits"!!!!

Sounds like a Scouse Ruffe Slapper mate.

Anyone know what species this is?

It was taken at extremely long range with a 500mm lens and has been sharpened a bit in PS. Unfortunately, the original image isn't very sharp at all. I thought it might be a Linnet, since it has a bit of colour on its breast, but I find identifying these little brown jobs difficult at times
