A couple of shots from this afternoon in the South of Sweden. I hope that I got the English names of the birds right.

Nice shots Lars. I like the first, it has a suspended in air look to it and just a glint off of the eye.

Very good Lars, and well framed!
We have had your Great Grey Shrike over here, I photographed it last on the 28th March, people came long distance's to see it! The top two are Red Kite's, amazing birds.
All the best Colin

#4 is my fav here due to the way the picture is framed (not the border around the edge DUH ) but all of them are really well taken.

Thanks Ant, that's probably because 80% of my shooting will end up in another forums than this. Birds and wildlife is not my normal kind of subjects

Thank you Colin. I never see the Great Grey Shrike where I live in the south. That's a good catch for you. But the Red Kite is very common here
