This is my first photo of this species for years, so please forgive the distance involved! There were at least 4 individuals present and I was happy with just hearing them booming, until this happened

I managed to have free time at the exact break in the weather yestday. Mostly obtained duplicates, but saw my first blackcap of the season (photo not great though, so holding out for better)

And now to sighting of the day. My best ever UK sighting of this and definitely best photo opportunity. Nothing compared to others, but I was very pleased :D

Went for a walk last weekend. Not much worth posting - the few that I captured I should be able to improve upon. Posting this one as I was surprised that they were displaying already....

I went to Welney a couple of weeks ago. It's taken me all this time to go through the photos. Unfortunately the weather did not live up to the forecast and it rapidly clouded over when I arrived. I added a few and got some action shots from the "swan" feed, but the usual walking was severely restricted as everywhere was really flooded. It it the most water that I have seen there. This first one I was very pleased with, apparently a pair had been hanging around for a while....
