This pic was taken by 'the Bairn' on Sunday . This little fellow touched down on the 'summit' as he was peering over the side of the mountain. Taken with a canon 400 . Can anyone identify it. ??

My best guess is a Snow Bunting A rare beasty...very cute. Mountainous home.

Thanks again for indentifying the birdie

[Elmo]

a strange child-like object that found its way into my back garden....

[Funkstar]

awwwww! what a cutie!

[Elmo]

he's 2, and he's at the most amazing point in his life - from now on he'll be rubbish

[Funkstar]

lol what was he 'helping' with?

[Elmo]

he wasnt, he found his bob the builder gear in his toy box in our house and insisted on putting them on and parading about the house he's a strange child

[Funkstar]

I think most 2 year olds are a little strange. I remember my cousins wee boy at that age. He is 7 now

that is really sweet, couldnt mail me that for a background could ya?

[Zak33]

that really is amazing

[noah]

thanks for the kinda comments chaps

jackvdbuk - pm me your email, i'd be happy to make a desktop.

bobster - shot on a d70 with a sigma 10-20 in aperture priority at f4, front curtain flash on i-ttl about 3ft to my left. really like your shots, excellent framing on the first and the 'what you looking at punk?' expression on the dog is priceless.

it's a real pain to get it to work as there's a second or so delay if you do it using the d70 as the commander. i think i'll get one of the cheap £20 radio kits of ebay and have a play. although that'll mean manual flash which will be fun experimenting with. also trailing shutter would seem more sensible thinking about it!


thanks.

nice Hans, i'd be tempted to clone the petal out on the top left there..and bring it in for a more square crop..
