These are just a few recent shots that haven't fitted in anywhere else, and in particular an excuse to post this shot of a wasp caught in a spider's web. It was taken a few nights ago, before the rain returned.
Jumping forward to today, a fleeting shot of a cormorant with its catch.
A parade of young gulls from last Friday…
A rat, also from last week.
And a couple more crows from yesterday.
Camera note: all bird shots taken with the Canon 7D EF and 400mm f/5.6L USM lens. The entombed wasp was taken with the EF 100mm f/2.8L macro IS USM lens and Canon 430EX flash unit. The flash was set to 1/16th manual speed.

6 Oct 2011Sami, thanks. I liked the gulls too. It's a really simple shot with nothing much happening, but it seems to work.

9 Oct 2011Erwin, I think these are our standard crows. I've not seen any house crows. I think they are slowly colonizing in Ireland.
