OK, it's time for some more birds
I thought just occured to me, when taking pictures of birds, should I say "Watch the human."?
  I'll start with a pair of black winged stilts. The lower one is a juvenile and the other a mature bird.  This guy is a common snipe. It's the first picture I've managed of this sprcies.  This wheatear allowed me to get right up to it. I was so close, I hardly cropped anything off the picture.  I managed to get very close to this socotra cormorant as well.  This is a very unusual shot of the bird above. Notice how he's turned his neck through 180 deg. His eyes look like they are popping.

Great pics Adrian. I've never seen anything like the socotra before. It's a neat looking bird.
