  4. Very nice shots John, especially like the Ruff in flight an the Godwits, I assume the Kingfisher is at Tresemple, if so you did well to get a fairly close shot of it as they are usually at distance there, a very nice set all round John.

  9. Just catching up, John!

    This is an absolutely beautiful set of images. I started to try and pick out favourites, but I couldn't! However, I'm a bit jealous, to say the least, of the Egret and Kingfisher images!

    I guess that puppy is giving you lots of exercise!

    Best wishes - - - Richard

  11. What a wonderful series of pictures. Estuaries surely are one of the best spots of all to do a little birding.
