I can't see the original sticky so will start a new thread.  Saw nearly 30,000 knot on Breydon Water yesterday.  Great weekend at Minsmere, Otter, Kingfishers, Bitterns, lots of Marsh Harriers

We saw a couple today as we walked round the nature reserve near the Anderton Boat Lift. Great to see, if only fleetingly.

Great photo!

We sometimes get bullfinches on our garden feeders, always male and female together, beautiful birds.

Waxwings....Waxwings and yet more Waxwings.  This year is being one of the best for many years for Waxwings, they are everywhere.  Went into Beccles for my latest fix and found 4 birds that kept coming down to a small Rowan tree, swallowing half a dozen berries, flying back to the top of a high tree and repeating procedure every 15 minutes.

I have (For me) some brilliant pictures which will keep me happy if I never see them again.

If you get the chance go see them..........you will always remember it.

You going to post any pics GL?laughing

Hi OP

There are some wonderful pics of waxwings and many other birds on Flikr. They were taken by a guy called Pete Blanchard. Just click explore, and then type in his name, select a photo by him then click on his link. I believe he is local to us but not met him so far.

I should never have used the word 'brilliant'...I just meant they were for me.

There are better about..but i am pleased with these.

Greylag

There is no need to be anything but very pleased with your pics. I have only seen these fabulous birds in a supermarket car park in Scotland.

I put my I pad down after my last post and was surprised to see a fox approaching our pond, not sure if it was for a drink, or a mouthful of Koi Carp.

Just snatched a pic through the window before it ran off. Same pic but cropped a bit tighter to better show the look I got.

Cracking photos GL  and Bm.

Light too flat today here and little action for photography in the garden apart from the usual suspects.

Greylag - you use the word brilliant, rightly so,  I would love to see  waxwings and what a bonus to capture photos like yours laughing

Bluemagala - right place, right time with your foxy photo - like the foxes reflection in the pond very much laughing
