To Mick and Amy in particular, all those flies were a bit of a one off because the air warmed so suddenly after a very wet period and they were looking for somewhere to dry out. There were lots of flies everywhere for the birds that morning.Phil Sladehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846400106748443969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-22006895229022144612011-09-07T00:25:35.643+01:002011-09-07T00:25:35.643+01:00Neat birds.

Just dropped by from the Camera Critters bolg, wanted to let you know that I really enjoy this blog - so I'll join the minions and become a follower. Fantastic pictures, that takes a lot of patience and skill (and some luck , for sure :))<br /><br />There's the occational bird featured over at my place, but more often it will be bird food (bugs and spiders ^^), feel free to have a peek around.Kathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203962099953937348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-33554707347749582462011-09-06T15:23:17.671+01:002011-09-06T15:23:17.671+01:00I don't know how you manage make so good photo...I don't know how you manage make so good photos :) Thanks for sharing them so we can enjoy them :)Nikola D.A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09662991196954554132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4526180646938954660.post-12899944047950178382011-09-06T00:08:35.538+01:002011-09-06T00:08:35.538+01:00Great photos - again!

All these birds are so tiny. Great concluding image of the flying Buzzard. I imagine, one reason you guys have to get up early is to put up the nets.
