You must have an impressive camera, plus the skills to use it to its potential. All of these shots are great.

Thanks Jeph.
I have got a canon 1d mk IV and a 300 2,8 L is lens + a 1,4 teleconverter, a nice bird setup which is´nt too heavy. The rest is practice and luck (specially the last).

Words pale in comparison to the images you capture, so I find it better to say nothing, but I'm enjoying all the pictures you've posted. Thank you.

She's definitely a 'he'. Males have that pink and grey coloration.

Super pic. A shame it was a firecrest though. Mine thrive on a diet of pigeons (female) and starlings (male). They are always welcome!

Thank you Chrissy, i have swallows who chase both sparrowhawks and kestrels away if they come to close to their nests, they are fearless.

Interesting that they take pigeons, i thought they were to small for that.
