It was a little cold today but the birds did not disappoint.
Who are you looking at.
What a lot of Bewick's swans.
The ice doesn't stop these flights.
This bittern isn't being pesky. Sorry Whistling Joe, you weren't there to see it.
This skating is fun.
These are for Ian. We like beardies.
I took more than 200 photos of the bearded tits. Did I overdo it a bit?
Good to see Buzz on the way home.

Nice set of Photos Limpy. I'm hoping to be at Minsmere Tomorrow with my Mum.

You can never overdo pics of the Beardies Limpy ! What a wonderful set of photos, not often you see close ups of not only a Bittern but also the Rail, well done, I'm green with envy here as we've had miserable weather all week - boo hoo !! lol

Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Great photos as usual Limpy. Mrs B was not happy to see how well the beardies were showing - they never are when she visits.
Fabulous photos Limpy, what a brilliant selection, some great flight shots of the swans , and so funny to see them in line on the ice. Too many beardies??? never, it's not as if we get chance to see them all year is it. They are something special anyway.
Lot to learn
