Here are a few shots of a Sparrowhawk that was soaring alongside a Common Buzzard (see my last post) at Western Turville near Aylesbury.

Common Buzzard

Here are a few shots of a common buzzard taken during a sunny afternoon at Western Turville reservoir near Aylesbury.  They were taken with my Sigma 150-500mm lens, obviously at the extreme end as the buzzard was soaring at high level.  They are not exactly as sharp as I would like but I suppose that is a limitation when trying to capture somewhat elusive wildlife.

Here are a few shots (12 to be exact) of the extremely colourful pink flamingos both at peace and whilst aggressively competing for space.  The photos were taken at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo near Dunstable in Bedfordshire during a recent pleasantly spring-like day.

Common Caterpillar

Here are a few shots of what I understand is a common caterpillar taken with my somewhat underused Tamron 90mm macro lens.   An insect not often seen in my garden, it turned up late one evening so I grabbed the opportunity before it disappeared.
