Another great set. I thought the Shoveler was saluting the passing Mallard. Stunning Redshank I thought.

Thanks Jack, I thought so to (re the Redshank) and the light was so good on it, that's why I went a bit OTT lol

I like the reflection photo's PB, looks like you had a great day for them. A good variety from the hide.

Thanks Snappy, the light whilst viewing from the hides was good, and the water still, so everything looked photogenic!

Well, you're so inhospitable up there

I think a Spotted or two may have been amongst the Commons, but I couldn't pick them out
