Bird Life

An area of photography I am not set up for at all, if the lights good I normally get half decent shot, if its slightly overcast I'm knackered. Some shots in this gallery are posted simply because I was chuffed to get the shot of a particular Bird , so please excuse the quality. When I win the lottery and buy that 500mm prime this gallery is going to take on a new life :-)

UPDATE: March 2011....Well I didn't win the lottery but I have now own have a mid range long lens in my Arsenal, lets see if my Bird shots improve:-)
