Hi everyone
I'm curious about two birds that I have nearlyseen!! Poor photos unfortunately.
The first one below I spotted across the far side of a reservoir when I scanned with a 500mm fixed lens with 2X multiplier. There were at least 3 of them but this was the one most in view. Some kind of wading bird?
This next one was when I was walking back to the car and was in a tree in the middle of a field - looked at least pigeon size. Only had 200mm lens on then. Could it have been a small hawk?
I haven't got much of a clue

- you can say that again! However I am curious and wondering if a re-visit is worthwhile.
Cheers
Tich
