Birds Walk: Regent's Park, London, August 2009

Today I joined the Birds Walk in Regent's Park; this walk is usually run on Sundays in summer time. I didn't have a binocular, my 70-300 mm lens ( equ. with 105-450 mm on Nikon D70) wasn't long enough, and I had no idea about birds' names. So I have been actually out of the walk!! But it was a good introduction.

I cannot remember the name of the bird in the shot, but everybody in the team were happy to see one of them today. The shot doesn't have a good quality but it became a kind of abstract shot when the bird and red touches are on a complete wash out background.
