At the other end of the scale... https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-53383387 A bearded vulture seen in Derbyshire. It's not that far from here, question is will I need a wide angle lens?

Thanks for that Robert most interesting the Bearded Vulture is also called Lammergeyer, I have never seen one. Very rare in Southern Europe mostly in the mountains of N Spain. South Africa: Cape Town, Drakensberg, Lesotho, also the Himalayas and China. We did not have them in Rhodesia. It could have come up in rough weather from Spain or maybe escaped from a zoo.

That's interesting Graham but you seem to have studiously avoided my dilemma about the wide angle lens... LOL

I doubt if you would get that close its wingspan is nearly 9 feet so it is quite big and has a habit of dropping large bones from high up to crack them! So watch your head! Here are some white-backed vultures from my Kenya trip. Click here to comment on this image.

Thanks for the tips! I think I will stick with stars and other heavenly bodies... I understand we are currently enjoying a rare visit from Comet Neowise. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-wiltshire-53383007

Spotted Thick-Knee Nikon D500 with 80-400mm lens in Kenya. Very similar to the UK Stone Curlew. Click here to comment on this image.
