Kestrel (Falco tinnunculus)

Still no sign of getting good weather here. Good news, I have sent my old camera, Canon EOS 7D to be repaired, well, it went to a good place, who have fixed it. It will be back on Thursday, I can't wait. The 5D isn't half as good.

  12. Fabulous photos Bob! The detail is amazing!! I think all your photos are wonderful whatever camera you use. I have struggled with the 7D ever since I had it over a year ago.

    The Pied Wagtail photos were lovely too.

    I hope your appointment with the 'blood sucker' goes well tomorrow!

  19. To nie tylko mnie psuje się aparat, chyba za dużo zdjęć robimy. Dobrze, że masz worek, a w nim piekne zdjęcia. Pozdrawiam cieplutko.
    It's not just me, the camera breaks down, I think we do a lot of photos. It's good that you have a bag, and in the beautiful pictures. Regards warm.
