1st Day of a New Year.

We were delighted to finally get the Grey Phalarope and add it to our British list, we have only ever seen them in California. The Eiders were way out but still nice to see.

    It was good to see the Grey Phalarope. I did see one at Welney WFT once a few years ago. Shame they are not in their summer plumage when they visit here.

    The Grey Phal John was brilliant, so close, also the PB Brent is so confiding. A great set of images and a good start to the New Year.

    The Grey Phalarope is beautiful! All the photos are really nice. We're staying in today, It's 25 degrees with quite a wind blowing today.

    Hi JR and Sue.
    I just love your photo's, you must have been shooting for years, to get that good. I only wish I could learn quicker.
    Well done with catching up with the Phalarope.

    Well done on the Grey phalarope... We have them over here but there are quite rare around Reykjavik... They only breed in one spot which is protected...
    I love the purple sandpiper and the brent!!! Beautiful...
    Happy new year BTW...

    Happy New Year to you both! That's a very nice start to your year. Here in Massachusetts I did a Christmas bird count on Jan 1st, beginning the year with Great Horned and Northern Saw-whet Owls - not too shabby for starters!

    Hope to see you guys again in 2011.

    Cheers,

    James
