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 !

Oh bless this little Blue Tit !! It had just finished a well deserved bathe on the waterfall area when I took this photo ... It had a successful brood which fledged last week.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Yes, but what the poor teenagers who have struggle out of bed at 11.30 in the morning … which is exactly what this juvenile Heron looks like!

Lot to learn
After 3 late evenings waiting for this guy to show and having no luck, I decided to go early morning instead. He was flying at 06:00 Saturday and Sunday Morning, will need to get there earlier.
So, a day off work that yet again I woke at silly o'clock, so went for a wander along the river via the golf course,
sunrise and mist
more mist
a pot of gold somewhere?
Then a flash of blue streaming along the river, a kingfisher, which of course, was waaaaaaaay too quick to snap at silly o'clock...I mean, after all, I'd only had one coffee!!
So I meandered on, and then
all cygnets appear to be there, despite concerns of otter predation when they 1st hatched.
3 little egret, numerous mallard, a pair of (once again) very quick grey wagtails, and another flash of blue and finally, a recently fledged blue tit being fed completed my stroll.
