Spent a bit of time on the banks of the River Orwell where these wigeons provided todays subject.

These images lend themselves to all kinds of interpretation but we chose 'bad day at the office' as the female appears to be giving the old boy some advice!!

Cormorant with eel at Ham Wall RSPB Reserve - Somerset Levels

Male Pintail - Slimbridge WWT - taken in poor light in the pouring rain but a pleasing composition. I often envy those who submit photos of wildlife from "sunnier climes" where high shutter speeds and lens' "sweet spots" are the norm. In the UK we suffer from the dreaded "white-out" skies for a lot of the year lacking any contrast but perhaps it makes us better photographers overcoming these "challenges"?

Footnote: it's pouring down outside as I write this!!

BIRDWATCHING...

Mu gets a little patio time. Sometimes our kitty forgets he is on a leash when his instincts take over and her leaps after his prey.
