Had myself a visit to Saltholme yesterday primarily to see the Black necked Grebe pair, unfortunately they stayed at spotting scope distance so no photo's. I did manage to get the Ring necked Duck, and a few others though, and it was great to be out in the warm sunshine.

These are stunning shots Terry and I love that Ring-necked Duck, what lovely species you saw.
Really lovely photos of some stunning birds Terry, the Little Ringed Plover, Avocet and Tree Sparrow would be birds I'd like to see.
Superb set of photos, Terry. I've never seen a Ring-necked Duck - what a smart looking bird. Avocets are such elegant looking birds and I love the LRP with its yellow eye ring. Sunny weather makes such a difference to photography doesn't it.
You had a very nice day out Terry, very nice pictures.
Thanks everyone, your comments are always appreciated, sad that the BNG's were out of camera range (well my photo's were pretty poor), but it looks like they are pairing up, so who knows, they may nest there.
