Very nice photos. I am intersterd in Great Grey Shrikes. Breeding birds from Sweden partial winter in Drenthe -Holland-. Last winter over 80. Do you know something about trends and amount of breeding birds in Sweden?

I am very glad to learn this (my comment was posted before that information)... thanks for the replying; the gallery takes a whole new perspective. Well done.
Olivier.

To avoid misunderstanding, all the pictures in this gallery are taken during scientific ringing activity.
Guest 01-Mar-2006 20:08
Not sure I like the way you hold them.
Surely you would respect human subjects who don't want to be photographed ?
I believe you should let birds fly away if they want to.
Olivier.

This is a really engaging, different gallery. I'm not even very interested in birds, but these are nice photos. And it's very cool to see wild animals up close like this. Well done!
