The big fish really looks annoyed. It reminds me of an incident on our lawn earlier this year, when a kestrel pounced on a blackbird outside the window. Before the wife even had time to scream, a cat shot out of the bush and went for the kestrel. The kestrel was startled and flew off....so the cat grabbed the wounded blackbird, as a conciliation.

Eric I should have added: http://www.petewhieldonphotography.co.uk/ Pete has some very good pixs well worth looking at even if he is a Cannon user. He is the keeper of the super owls I have posted many pix of also has the Kingfisher hide.

That kingfisher shot is amazing. Not only kingfisher caught as it exits the water with fish but a second fish out above the surface. What is the large fish? Not a trout, but maybe a Chub?

Well after the latest contribution from Graham my contribution pales into insignificance but if only to bring things down to earth... Here goes. I have been hoping to re-visit the Isle of Skye for a while. With Christopher stuck with me for the entire school summer holiday I though it would give him a break and change of scenery. Most of my photography was landscape and plants but while camped next to Loch Slapin on the East coast on our way to Elgol, I had the opportunity to see several birds. The only one I am sure of is the Grey Heron... It caught at least six fish for breakfast while I was watching. Birds taken with the D3 and the 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 VR. Loch Slapin and the Cuillin Hills, D3 and 24-120, @ 52mm and f4.   Cheeky chappie!   Is this just a sparrow, or something more interesting?  A grey Crow?  I did see a Golden Eagle pretty close up but it was sat with it's back to me on an electricity pole, it flew off when I got too close but I didn't get any useful pix of it in flight, one was sharp but too far away.

That's probably a Rock Pipit...could be a Meadow or even Tree Pipit...difficult to tell from that angle. The other is a Hooded Crow. Nice to see you are taking on the wildlife Robert. Well done.

Thank you gentlemen, it seems bird ID isn't straightforward! What about the 'cheeky chappy'? I have tried several bird ID sites but no conclusive answers. A few look similar but too many variations. I quite enjoy watching them, I always have but to hold my interest best requires something with wheels and an engine, preferably large, powerful and loud!
