Photograph taken in the Hortobagy, Hungary

Love this picture - its the delicate way this little bird picks the seed from the plant.

You sometimes forget how beautiful a Starling actually is...............

I must have got to close to this birds nest as it started to do 'i'm an injured bird' routine - thus the strange pose

Nice juicy beetle to be had but first the bird needs to get past the shell

Early evening in Lake Kerkini in Northern Greece - the evening light gave this heron a golden glow as it glided over the lake from the far bank

I feel that if Israel can get in the Eurovision Song Contest then I can include their birds in my European Gallery

Light was awful when we came across two ducks on this small pond by the side of the road - managed to get a couple of shots off before the birds flew to an even darker part of the pond.
