I was looking for somewhere different to go for a walk yesterday and as luck would have it, it was the day that Grafham water had reopened. This had its' downsides though, a couple of trails were very

Unlike other STers in lockdown, I do not have a moral dilemma about taking my camera out for a walk. Whenever I go out for a walk in the UK, I take my camera. If you can walk the dog, why can't you take a camera? Surely better than a can of beer, which I have spotted on several occasions :blink: As long as you don't block the way when taking photos or sit around awaiting a shot, I do not see the problem. Although the RSPB reserves are closed, you are still able to use any public footpaths that traverse them. Anyway, I have been out for a few walks during lockdown and got a few more to add to the list, although in normal BYs, I would probably wait for better on some species...

Because a dog need to do "those things"? But walking a dog with a camera, that is probably listed under "essential excercise" :unsure::).

If I understood correctly, you should be exempt from the lockdown?

Sorry for the delay, got caught up searching the internet to try to work out why the Flickr links only post the thumbnail and not the high resolution images...and I have success, so maybe I'll update all the photos above, or not.....

Now that I have worked out how to use Flickr properly, you may wish to start again at no. 1 in order to enjoy the photos in their full high resolution splendour, not the low resolution thumbnails that I have been posting until now :(

See, lockdown has some upside - there's no way I would have edited all of those posts otherwise!

I also realise that the moorhen is a duplicate, so I will deduct 1 from the score in the next batch

Congrats on getting to grips with Flickr. Photos look much better now.  But I'm not going to give them all another 'like' :P

One for me and one for the dogs. It's not my fault they cannot be trusted to go out unaccompanied. :rolleyes:
