TAKE NINETY EIGHT a

Wings on Wednesday -
YAM's take on the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright hilarious in respect to photographing birds.


























Taken a month ago, just as the buds were looking to burst.  There has been an invasion of magpies in Scotland since my original residence here.  This of course means less of other birds. Here is an older, but informative article you may enjoy on this handsome gangster.

Taken with the 'Nik' on auto exposure and the lens extended to 8x optical.

  2. I have a black and white cat, and had no idea there were black and white birds. Handsome fellow, shortcomings notwithstanding.

  3. So many birds, so little time. Mind you, the bird butt file keeps increasing. We saw an eagle soar in at Stanley Park in Vancouver, but all I got was... yep!
