That must've been a tough shot with the background contrast there?Originally Posted by fracster
One i`ve been after for ages, these got quite rare at one stage as people converted barns to houses. Anyway, the guy who owns the estate let me put some nest boxes up in some barns on his land, they reared 3 young last year and are back this year.

Nice pics.
Some places over here do get a bit of snow now & again.
This is my place in August 2005. We usually get a few light falls each winter, but that year was the heaviest.

That is a cracking shot of your house Cuppa, looks a great place as well. I would love a house in the country but they are silly money over here.
Rusty, I use a 300 and 500 f4 primes for most of my wildlife stuff.
Jas, i`m really impressed with the Auto focus on the D800. It was just a matter of dialling in some negative exposure to get the whites of the bird to show against the snow.
It is now official, we are not quite so sh@t at cricket as we were! Rugby Union is a different matter.
