Lovely photos, glad you had a good day, your weather was obviously better than here, as usual. It was overcast but at least no wind or rain today. Love the Mandarin ducks, my fave water birds.
never knew wildfowl could be colourful
Snapping practice indeed! Went a bit mad didn't we!! ;) Very nice though.
jan - ta, yeah Mandies are nice
mart - oh ducks are cool. even the mallard has great colours. most of those are "foreign" though. captives
digi - set shutter speed and iso!! not auto!! no fainting
Great pictures Pete. You are so lucky you have places to go where you can see so much wildlife. Nothing like that here.
Super pics Pete, dare you post the ones you took of Nic?
Loved the mandarins and the very colourful geese, can't remember their names, will look them up later, unless you care to spare me some time and tell me.
Glad you had a good day out with Nic, apart from getting lost that is, oh and the possible puncture!
boo - presume you mean Red Breasted Gesse.
oc - most of the birds in photos are in a collection. Pretty though! the advantage of the UK is its fairly small!
Thanks Pete! They are gorgeous!
However, you didn't answer my question about posting pics of Nic!
Boofy Nic asked me not to. As much as I'd love to post one I think she'd be upset.......
