I do like the Hawfinch Andy....:t:
Thanks, taken through the living room window believe it or not, the bird was 2m away.
I'm sure Glebb images his birds with every consideration for their wellbeing no worries there, fwiw of Farnboro John's Cuckoo shots I'm a touch envious.
That withstanding...under the thread title of ''Worst Birds'' I think some might agree that my five images would certainly fit that description.
These were all ''stalked'' with the sole intention of filling the frame on each occasion with absolutely no consideration for their respective wellbeing lest they fly away. :eek!:
Cheers
Well I'm very envious of that Tawny Owl! :eek!:
As it happens all my above photos of Colin were from the same year, but he's done four seasons now and it will be interesting to see if he makes it to a fifth. Fingers crossed for the boy! :t:

I know I’ve posted this one before but here’s my best effort of a Merlin. Luckily my little Canon SX60 was next to me on the passenger seat. Well... in the footwell following the birder’s emergency breaking procedureo
A great shot Clark!...can Merlins exceed 30 mph?

I get the impression it is policing any other bird that does.... 3

Instant, on the spot penalty.
Assume it was taken in Wales and that the Policeman was an “Ev-a-a-ns”

Lovely images! Guess the birds I've seen so far have been very uncooperative...The worst birds to Photograph (continued)
