Not great shots and although they occasionally fly over the house, I am unlikely to get any better

Keep trying. Not the easiest birds to photograph even when sitting still.

@@Tdgraves, really nice set from your local area. The Black Headed Gull is a very pretty Gull. So tempting to get out there every free minute, if only work and life didn't get in the way.

Now for more dodgy raptors. I was at the side of one of the lakes, where there was a blind, with a small post box shaped hole for viewing. I saw a raptor coming over the lake, but could not focus on it and then the blind got in my way, so this is all I managed....

A slightly better raptor - Eurasian hobby, unfortunately, it doesn't count as I saw one as a new species in KNP in Jan, but nice to see one close to home.

I don't care if it doesn't count. A remarkable bird and well captured.

Keep them coming.

Lovely pictures of the Hobby. As someone new to all this, I find it particularly interesting seeing the same species in the UK and then somewhere in Africa - so well worth posting even if it does not count.

The rest were birds I would commonly see in my garden (tits, finches etc.), so I will upload some garden photos and combine them.
