Another Afternoon by the river

Nice selection again ILR. I think the last time I saw goosander was along the river at Fountains Abbey middle of last year :o)

well done on your Goosanders ILR always great feeling to see something different

Thank you Linda, it was nice to see something different, it’s just a shame the photos were poor.

Poor is when you gotta take them inside house because its bucketing down so nothing poor about yours

For me, getting clear views of Redwing (as opposed to half-hidden behind twigs) is rarer than Goosanders! But if you never seen one before then that is always special and memorable and even better if you get a photo or two as well!!

Your very kind Linda, I am my worst critic

Your very kind Nigel thank you for the encouragement

ILR, I agree with PB, Linda and Nigel--any photo, especially of something you have not seen before, is great. And that is coming from someone who does not carry a camera. The photos, good and less so, and the frequent knowledge and occasional silliness on this and other threads here on the forum are helping to keep me sane through this virus thing, or at least as sane as I have ever managed (no rude comments from the rest of you, please--lol!)

Awe Thanks Ann
