At least the first one's not orange.
I went bird shooting with my camera again yesterday. The first bird is a yellow wagtail. These come in several varieties, this one is the middle eastern variety.
This is a teal. A very common bird in Europe but less common here, where it winters.

Superb pics, Adrian, especially the first one! While you're so damn good with the feathered variety, I'm sure you're aware that the non-feathered variety can be a little more exciting!

The camera is the new Nikon D200 and this was my first effort with a new Nikon 300mm 2.8 VR and a TC20EII 2 X converter. Both pictures were taken resting the lens on my car window. The wagtail was quite close but the teal was about 100yds away.

With your obvious knowledge and skills with the camera, why don't you post us some really gorgeous close ups of your watches? I would specially like to see Brenda's beautiful TT DJ with that MOP dial and Romans in a real close up shot. Thanks - JJ
