Beautiful bird! I've not heard of them before now... and that's some amazing camera you have there.

How absolutely beautiful... I've seen some glorious photos from pro photographers in different publications.. and I really can't see how you can be beaten ..both landscape and wildlife, .. have you ever won anything for your work ?

Thanks for the kind words. I win some competitions years ago when I did the camera club thing. Other than that a regular wage for a couple of decades as a press and events photographer plus freelance work that I still do is prize enough

@Oy,, thank you so much for showing us one of the native birds.

The first one makes me think he's checking to see if its safe to come out of the reeds.

Great photos! It's been a few years since I saw them at Leighton Moss. However, now that I've got my new hip I hope to get there next year. Really looking forward to it.
