Good morning from Laax in the Swiss Alps.

I'm at 1,035 masl and we have some interesting buzzards, eagles and other assorted UFO's around here as well as a lot of deer.

Recently bought the 350D, 100-400mm L IS USM lens and have a couple of other USM lenses as well.

Also regularly visit the bird paradise known as the Isle of Man.

Biggest problem: the spaniel is also keen on birding so I have to be quick although he has no chance of ever catching anything
