    I really like that second shot, Joe!

    Is that a young bird on the right - or a different species? (His wings seem much more 'pointy' than the other birds' wings!)

    The lower bird on the right is gull of some sort (I don't know types of gull)

    It's probably a BHG then - or just a 'Smudge-headed Gull' as it's still in winter plumage!

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.

    Agree a couple of interesting flight shots Joe. Definitely looks like a BHG in the second shot, perhaps he prefers the company of Lapwings.
