| | | Rare bird photos
I have just come back from Egypt and managed a few decent photos of birds that are on the British List. I asked the mods if they wanted me to upload any to the Gallery and they said yes so I will start to upload them in alphabetical order starting with the first five today. They are:
Bee-eater 
Black Kite 
Caspian Tern 
Cattle Egret 
Crested lark 
I will try and upload another five tomorrow.

Wonderful shots John. Just read your tips on going to Egypt I think it must be a mad and dangerous place to visit.

Hi Dai
Glad you liked the photos.
Egypt can be hair-raising at times but overall I'm glad I went. The light is incredible for photography and that helped me get the photos I got.

Cracking photo's as usual John. Is the White-crowned Black Wheatear a first year bird as it's lacking the white crown?
Cheers,

Hi Adam
I would have said yes until this trip but I am now led to believe that some adult birds can carry this plumage. That is why I haven't put down 1st year against the bird.
