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

 Dammit, Greylag that's a cracker of a piccy.

Even I can clearly see the fine feathery bits beneath the lower beak !

You do realise that you've just made Brian go purple with jealousy  don't you surprised

Well done my friend, very well done !!

+1, it is excellentπŸ‘πŸ». It’s better to expand it from the thread pic than to transfer it to a library were it loses res.

 It loses res because website makes us reduce it to below 500 megs.

The GSW comes along 3 times a day....real treat.

A lovely photo Greylag, on my touch screen laptop I can expand it and it's still ok, very clear in fact! smile

Bru...It was taken through the kitchen window,  the glass didn't spoil it too much.  I have set up my tripod in the conservatory behind a sheet, blocking out the birds view of me, hope to get better shots.

What a brilliant photo!  We get a GSW too, very shy though, the slightest movement and it's off.  But it visits a few times per day, and it's lovely to see.

Great shot of the GSW. GL. you did very well to control the overall detail  of the bird, given the light direction.

Very envious of 3 visits a day, we haven't had one visit in over 30 years.

07.45 set up...08.10 GSW arrived.....wouldn't share with other birds and quickly got rid of them.

Such a simple common little bird, but this House Sparrow was a real treat, taken in Southwold last week.

Nature does it every time!
