Marley the Kestrel
One of the birds you're most likely to see along side a road in Britain is a Kestrel like this (he's a male - the females are all brown). Amazingly they see UV light and track rodents' urine trail along verges before hovering above them. Sadly the toxic nature of roadsides are affecting the food chain; so they may not be around for long.

You can fave this too!
I've built a wordpress plugin that uses the API from photo sharing sites to share when people fave my photos on them within this site.
To show up on the left - simply fave the photo at one of the below sites.
In the future I look forward to making it more available for other wordpess users to benefit from.

My Gear
It's not all about the camera. Some of my favourite shots were taken with a 4MP point and shoot camera; and I've been lucky enough to have these photos sold. That said sometimes your gear limits you. Even the gear I used for the shot is not perfect - you're mileage may vary!

You should think of sending this in for The One Show (http://www.bbc.co.uk/theoneshow), it's not a competition, but you might get mentioned on the tele ;-) -- http://www.phillprice.com/index.php/2009/04/15/marley-the-kestrel/ (?)
