Red Kites
An afternoon spent at Gigrin Farm in deepest Wales early last week was pretty productive though the Black Kite only came in when the food had all gone.

I warned you, the white one was evil....
This (not so) Blackbird arrived in our garden yesterday. It is quite interesting to watch it's different behaviour to the other Blackbirds. Unfortunately, this different behaviour includes being ultra wary of humanoids and other birds making it hard to get any photos. Hopefully I will get some more over the next few days.(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsqFqaBNqkc - where the title comes from)

Camargue area, 8-14/2
A week in southern France in the company of Kevin Du Rose, Graham Catley and John Wright wasn't especially productive for photos though some excellent birds were seen. The weather was perhaps to blame for the lack of photo opportunities with strong, icy winds being uncomfortable conditions for both us and the birds.
Wallcreeper at Les Baux
Perhaps should have taken more of these as the rest of the lads got some alright shots of this rather special bird wintering at Les Baux. There only appeared to be one present and it was rather mobile and I was never in the right place at the right time to really nail it unfortunately. The strong wind on top of Les Baux meant that all the Alpine Accentors were sheltering in impossible to reach places so didn't even get any shots of these usually soft targets.
Greater Flamingo shapes
I had never seen Flamingos display before and it was quite an impressive sight but it was incredibly hard to get a good composition out of.
Slender-billed Gull
Saw a few of these during the week but couldn't do any damage until the last day when the sun came out and the wind dropped. Amazing how the different light condtions affect how pink the birds look.
