  2. A beautiful set of images, John. I dont think I've ever seen a GND in the state of plumage shown in the first of the two images - wonderful! You've got me wishiing I lived closer to the sea - you can't get much further from the sea in UK than I am. My best wishes to you both for 2020 - - - Richard

  6. Thank-you everyone for your comments. Sorry, I have been slacking a bit in answering comments and I've not been on the blog much. Richard, you're right the GND plumage is a bit unusual.
    Happy New Year to you all. John & Sue.
