Inspired by Nicola's blogs (I have yet to bump into you Nicola on my way round) I thought I'd post a few of my own favourite photos of Old Moor - it's a 35 mile trip for me to get there, but there is always so much to see and everyone is so friendly there! So here goes! First of all my own photo of the lapwings taking to the skies!
Mallards having a bit of a squabble!
I quite like the pinks and greys together in the next two
Dragonfly (common darter - I think!
The cormorants who seem to have taken to those rocks near the Family Hide!
And one from down memory lane - taken last November when Wath Ings had a few more birds on it than it does at present! All the golden plovers in the afternoon sunshine.

Looks like a few starlings above the lapwings. A really interesting shot.
Hi Cris
Hope you don't think I was ignoring your last post - just got back from my holidays earlier today - going to sort through all my pics in a bit!
Dead jealous of your brand new Lumix FZ200 - sounds as though it will be arriving tomorrow. You'll have to let me know what you think. It would be interesting to compare it to my FZ150.
Have fun trying it out!
That's a cracking set of pictures Christine well done, old moor is one of my favorite places, we will have to arrange a meet up with some forum members.
To each their own
Thank you nighthawk. A meet up some time sounds like a good idea - there seem to be quite a few of us that really like Old Moor.
No problem Christine,
Got the camera....wow!!!
I am terrible with this forum thingy, can't see how to include a picture on here??

If you click on the "Use rich formatting" link below right, instead of on the blue Reply box, it opens a new window where there is an option to post photos.
So - you've got the camera already - glad you're pleased with it!
Brilliant photo Cris - one day I might be able to take pics like that (not!) really glad you like the new FZ200. You'll have to let me know the improvements from the FZ150 (says she saving up for the next camera!). Will definitely look out for more Oldmoor shots next week. Hoping to get back myself.
I did post a comment to the photo on your Gallery page last night but for some reason what I said needed moderating and hasn't appeared! Only said the same as here!
