The birds they mock me

Not the greatest of photos, but here's Bob earlier this week before his release back into the wild.
He was found last year as a chick/young bird and the people who had him didn't have room for him so asked my dad to look after him (my dad looks after injured birds, although Bob was fit and healthy). Mum and dad believed that he should be released as he was still very timid of people. So with the good weather on the way they had him ringed last weekend and on Monday they opened his aviary door so that he could go when he wanted, and they would put food out for him for a couple of days just in case he struggled with life on the outside. Within half-hour he was back! However, he went again and has not been back since. Perhaps that's him Number31?!

I make no claim to these being brilliant photos but add them for a different viewpoint. They were taken from 1500ft over Chippenham yesterday and are crops from a D800 with a 70-200mm f2.8 (at the 200mm end!). They had to be manually focused as the autofocus obviously picked up the background.
Those are great. dont think I've seen pictures of birds of prey from above like that before.Gassing Station | Photography & Video | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
