Our visit to England !

We went into England (Exminster) at the weekend to visit our son and daughter-in-law and managed to get a bit of birding done at the same time. Strange goings-on up there with Cormorants on wires!! and White-headed Blackbirds.




I have never seen a Swan bathing with such force, at times on his back and almost completely submerged. It made quite a nice series of shots. Sue

    I have to concur with the white headed blackbird and the cormorant very strange but lovely shots.

    Great stuff John and Sue. Agree with the others. The Cormorant is really odd...good digiscoping.

    What a fantastic set of images of all, but particularly the swan bathing. I have never seen them do this with such force either. Really wonderful view of their ways~

    We have Yellow-headed Blackbirds here. I have never seen a White-headed Blackbird. What a rare treat for me. And the Swan series is just fabulous. Good work!
