Most of the water-y birds are a bit distant, but the light was good, and hopefully the cropping isn't too bad! Stay tuned 'til almost the end for a creepy crawly I found on my neck, with a surprising lifestyle I discovered after looking it up!!

Hope you enjoy (it's quite long again, just to warn you )

Brilliant selection PB . A very high standard but my favourite was the Grey Wagtail. I can't remember seeing a better photo of one.
