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 !

Goldies do look angry when you photograph them head-on, but excellently timed photo.

Nice updates all.
lol PB, I was awake at 4.50am and having breakfast in the hotel at 6.40am but only just logged online ! Travelling back from London tonight so will catch up tomorrow folks.
Was eventful at times; not sure if any of you caught this article on the main news with climate change activists outside the Finance (Treasury Ministry) yesterday but we were almost caught up in it and only just escaped all this red dye (beetroot/water) drenching us by just 3 metres as we ran and took cover across the street ! We were by the fire engine crossing the street as this happened.
Quick pic on my mobile and also a clip my nephew took following our escape to show you how close we were and the red beetroot dye which spread right across the street to where we took cover.
(will be taking this pic and clip offline once you've seen it as don't want to give this sort of activist action added publicity - there are better ways to protest where you don't involve innocent members of the public) !
removed pic/clip now

Brilliant action capture PB, and I have to agree with Nige on the angry look of the goldie.
It must be a combination of the red face dark eyes and that beak.....

And besides...the finches are well renowned for their inappropriate nicknames of their friends.... it's them that are teaching me what the birds are, no wonder I get confused
See, here are Greenie, Bully and Woody

Are you sure your clock hadn't stopped??
Glad you escaped the hose!!

Thanks Mike, but my theory is if I take shots at 1/2500 sec, 10 per second, for 20 minutes, I'm going to get at least one half decent one

A fine save, well done!! Woody looks particularly upset with his nickname.
