What would be your choice?

[Babs]

If you could have the choice of photographing any British wild bird which you have not had the chance to photograph yet, which one would you choose.


I think I would choose the kingfisher, I have only ever seen a fleeting glimpse of one. I would love to capture a near decent picture of one......and one with a catch would be an added bonus

I'd certainly agree on the Kingfisher Bab's, the last time I saw one was probably 15 years ago and would love to capture one now.

I would also love to get some captures of Little Owls, they intrigue me.

I would love to capture a wild owl.

I captured this one at Paignton Zoo. It's a trained owl. I think I have a video of it performing

Being a novice anything different would be nice but yes for me too the Kingfisher.Only every caught a fleeting glimpse of one, many years ago

[Chocky]

You can capture the Kingfisher if you know where one hangs out and fishes. they do have regular landing spots but you need a great deal of spare time.

good question babs. i've thought about this but can't come up with one particular bird really. i take nearly all my shots through a telescope , so i would probably say a small bird that flits about alot , would be my ideal shot. it's very difficult ( no, nigh on impossible) to get a decent shot, this way, when the subject is constantly moving. perhaps a goldcrest maybe?
the other bird i would love to get a really good pic of would be a puffin. ihave taken shots of them before, but from distance and end result was poor.
so i would say, if managed to get a very good picture of anything i would be more than happy!!
