"Odds & Sods" (old version) - please add to the new thread 2020 instead !

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 !

  • Photo opportunities with birds are getting rarer for me. Lots of juvenile Herons around though! I assume this pair of youngsters are siblings as they got along together but wouldn't tolerate others coming close.

    No, you're not taller than me just because you hold your head up

    You're not photogenic enough, let me take this

    Do you have to do that pose, you look like a flasher!

    And then, there was this curious looking duck!

    They keep me amused anyway!

  • I caught the dawn yesterday and also took a silhouette or two of a wren on the cables, can't put them up as am baby sitting, there seem to be a number of wren around this year.

    Lot to learn

  • Folks, as always, a brilliant collection of photos, too many to individually pass comment on, but keep them coming, I know you will.
