As we approached it came towards us and sat right at my feet. We are not at all knowledgeable about birds but thought this was strange behaviour.<br />. It had all its feathers but its wings looked very small. We felt guilty leaving it but thought a parent might come if we went away. It was able to fly a few yards on its own which it did when someone let their dog chase it. It seemed almost tame. Can you explain this behaviour (the bird's)?Jpshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12240123478437988401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053399184605249420.post-16161522248342255212013-05-20T20:37:31.999+01:002013-05-20T20:37:31.999+01:00Thank you Jess.

I am feeling like upgrading camerawise, Mine has only a 5x telephoto, and I am taking lots of bird photos lately due to horrid invertebrate weather. I had a look at this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canon-PowerShot-SX500-Digital-Camera/dp/B0090GKH5I/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_S_nC?ie=UTF8&colid=3QKNP0T1F6L4M&coliid=I2UGBTM9RUFOB1<br /><br />with a 30x zoom for £200, and apparently, also a 0 cm macro.<br /><br />I loved being so close to the Razorbill, it is an incredibly beautiful bird, but my hand is quite bruised now. Do you have any tips on how to hold a bird that size from ringing?Africa Gomezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03501193251810926737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4053399184605249420.post-82608090473479548722013-05-20T19:45:39.387+01:002013-05-20T19:45:39.387+01:00How cool to get so close to a Razorbill!

I went to Bempton the other day too, but the birds just look like dots in my pictures haha. Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12870839886955511927noreply@blogger.com
