Where was this taken, if you saw it in the UK i'd be very jealous but I assume this was in Egpyt or somewhere in Europe?

Nice pic anyway

It was in my garden on the outskirts of Cairo today.

Here is another one from the garden.

Been to the local country park today - The Birds - I mocked them.

Poor things.

Taken in Helsinki a couple of years ago. I think the little chaps were quite hungry.

Its been ages since ive attempted any bird photography but with the bad weather it was quite easy to entice this Robin into the garden for a bit of seed.

Shots were taken with a Nikon D40 with an 55-200mm lens all fully zoomed in.

I'm a bit useless when it comes to identifying birds. Is this a redwing?

Male House Sparrow.
You maybe can't identify them, but it's more than made up for with your excellent pics.

Thank you!

Brrrr.





Annoyingly, 5 minutes before that there were some ducks under the ice swimming in the water - but they scarpered before I could take a photo of them...

It's a heavily cropped image but I's still learning just need some help with making the image sharper. so any pointers would be great

Found him staring through the kitchen window. Thought he probably fitted in quite well on this thread

ETA - Twitpic seems to have a time limit on it - so I've re hosted, should be able to see something now!
