But that day I'd not taken the zoom lens with me and had to work with the macro I was carrying and a good deal of cropping after. The next 2 walks out there I did take the zoom and for various dull reasons like it getting dark to quickly. Suffice to say I didn't get another useable picture from either walk.<br />I missed a chance today I suppose if you like photos of Turkey Buzzards tearing apart a couple of days dead road-kill possum. But I was just on the way to the DIY store and didn't have the camera. I did however have the windows open and there's no mystery as to how the Buzzards know something was dead!

Goodne...Hello there after much too long an absence. Goodness, what a rich flora and fauna you have over there! And I envy your ability to photograph birds which are just blurs and smudges in my own pictures. It's a very interesting point about the increase in prey attracting an increase in predators. As you know, we have the great magpie controversy over here in the Motherland: people want to shhot them when there seem to be too many because of their predation of smaller birds, but its a decline in the latter which has the real effect on Magpie numbers.<br /><br />All warm wishes and watch out for those millipedes<br /><br />M<br />MartinWainwrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08383027708524885786noreply@blogger.com
