Hi,
Just thought i would post some wildlife shots i have taken recently.
Starting with this kingfisher. I cheated a bit as had just caught him mist netting so we could ring him at a local nature resreve i help out at.

We've been following the progress of these goslings since they hatched at our local lake.

I really like these pics but the bleeders move to quick to get a really good shot (plus I don't know how to use a camera!)

Cool i would love to go get some exotic safari wildlife but due to my age and lack of funds no chance at the moment. But the university course i am hoping to take includes a 6 week stay in the peruvian rainforest :D.

Funds can be the main problem, but please try not to let age stop you.
My mum, who wouldn't go out the front door if it was within a couple of hours of it getting dark (often wouldn't go out after noon!!), then all of a sudden started travelling (age 70+), did hang gliding in thailand, went to china, kenya (x2) and a few other places - mostly on her own through saga!!

Excellent opportunity to stay in the peruvian forest though:thumbsup::thumbsup:
:thumbsup:

Have a great time and don't forget to post the pictures, will look forward to seeing them:worship:
