Family friend Bob Entwistle who lives very near Mount Kenya sent me this image and I do not think he will mind me sharing this with you all: Nubian Woodpecker taken with Bob's Nikon D300 with 18-200mm AF-S lens at 200mm 1/320 f9 ISO200. Bob came on our recent Spanish trip with us and was with me when I shot the Vulture Pixs. He told me that he often has Elephants and over 100 varieties of local birds in his garden.

Gorgeous picture Graham. I'm not troubled by Elephants in my garden, a nice old lady called on me last year and sold me some sparkling white powder, which she assured me if I sprinkled it around my garden she guaranteed I would never be bothered by Elephants. So far she seems to have been right, not a single Elephant! A few Buffoons but no Elephants.

That's a stunning photo graham , I would have loved to have taken up this hobby when I was younger and fitter and combined it with trips to Africa etc , but old Father Time and lack of funds puts the kybosh on that one . Mind you saying that I do get lots of exotic goldfinches in the garden

It was (thankfully!) an old English tradition that small boys went out on the 26th December to 'hunt the wren'.  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wren_Day Well the poor little wren seems to be recovering from the abuse of primitive man or is bravely thumbing its nose at human atrocities. This one was so close outside my window I had to stand on the sideboard at the far side of the room to use the 500mm. Then the wife suggested I switched to the 300mm for the 'sake of the furniture'.

Using noise reduction (shot at 4000iso) May loose the noise but also the ambience of the rain.... full frame unadjusted shot..... Attachment: F73626D8-4B57-447C-A0E5-13874E5C5B3E.jpeg (Downloaded 24 times)
