Thanks everybody!

I am presently reading a book I just bought Brutus Ostling and Magnus Ullman called 'Life on the Wing'. Makes me feel sick when I see how good the photos are.

I know what you mean, Adrian. The best medicine for that illness comes from the East (st in Swedish). There is a Doctor called Ling that can cure your pain. In other words when you return to those images you will feel better and better every time.

Stefano: Not the most common birds but not rare either..

wow, an unexpected one to be found on your dream land shots. this is one of my ever favorite birds, i was so sad because of it short visit last spring, hopefully it will stay the usual 3 weeks on its autumn visit, this shot gave so much hope.
sorry i missed it earler that time i was in BF.
