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 !

Thanks, Mike. Most of my landscapes seem to end up B&W now - hours of fun in Photoshop, which keeps me out of mischief!
You're welcome.
I've taken to using B&W more, especially on dull or extremely sunny days using a polarising filter where the cloud is very prominent.

Third time lucky to get these shots of bearded tit/reedlings at Westhay Moor on the Somerset levels. Always hear them but rarely see them.
Excellent photos … but you're lucky to get such unobstructed views of Beardies at all, let alone after three attempts.
I'm normally the last person to find a Wheatear, as in recent years I haven't seen them until May, but my luck changed this year. There was some debate about this one, as the facial markings are strong, like a male, but the back colour definitely says female to me. It's very early for a female though, as they normally wait until the males are already here. Either way, they are always great company on hill walks.

I was thinking this is the sort of photo Paul would use in a quiz "Identify the bathing bird!"
