My recreation activity today was heading into Newcastle upon Tyne to watch the Great North City Games. One of the highlights was watching Andy Turner, former European and Commonwealth Champion run his last ever race. The side of the track was packed and I only had a clear view of the final...

Just a couple of gulls today.

@Lee532 great shots and I especially like the one of the Swift, they're probably my favourite bird and very rapid well done getting that shot!

Brown Hare. This shot required a very rapid lens switch from the 35mm. Unfortunately that meant he was just about to disappear through an ugly gate by the time I was ready with the 70-300mm. Seconds earlier he was on a nice grassy verge. Maybe I could do with a 16-300 like wev...
