THIS THREAD IS NOW DISCONTINUED, please add to the new 2020 thread HERE
Often we don't have enough photos to create a full thread so thought I'd start an Odds & Sods thread where you may want to add a pic or two when you don't have enough for their own thread . Feel free to add your rogues gallery here !
I only had a couple of pics today, one a Treecreeper and the other a very hacked off looking Great Egret huddled against the reeds trying to keep warm !

Unlike her to be so coy. Is Mr Mally still with her?
Such a stunning bird the Male Bullfinch is.
I didn't expect this photo to be that good as it was taken handheld at 1/60's. It was more of a chance shot. The other dozen or so I deleted, thank goodness we have digital, when I think back to my old SLR Canon AE-1 I was carrying around in the late 80's in comparison to modern day DSLR's where some have GPS technology that will tell you where you took the photo.
This morning I was lucky to see all three types of UK Egrets today, Great White, Cattle and Little, considering that there was not much else around on the Somerset Levels.
There were 3 Cattle Egrets, 2 of which had the beginnings of their summer plumage. Some photo’s below…..
Great pics everyone; here are the garden mallards .... (pics taken through the window)
and black-headed gulls having their usual disputes from Woolston today ............
Lesser black-backed Gull
and it's mate on the right who had a metal leg ring (unreadable from distance)
Wonderful shots again Hazel - here a special hello to your garden Mallards from the Mallards in my neighbourhood
