Another super set Jeff...:-))

[Phill D]

Lovely stuff Jeff, looks like a good place to visit.

[BDennis]

Great shots. Love to visit all their sites and some still left to do. We got life membership of WWT on a good deal a while back. Driving back from Cornwall the other week I saw the Slimbridge sign on the M5 and couldn't resist taking an unscheduled turn off the route as we had an hour of visiting time left. The membership is well worth it!

Swallow on the river

[Phill D]

Wow Mark, looks like you've got your new OM1 working really well. That's a superb shot of a very fast flying bird. We got loads of swallows flying past our garden last year but developers have just demolished the farm where they nested so we've seen absolutely none this year

[MJ224]

Thanks Phill. They move so fast, I was lucky to get this ...

Great photo, lovely colours and detail. No wonder these birds make good targets for the gunners....

Some shots of a Whitethroat in the oilseed rape crop my farmer friend planted. His work is paying dividends - we usually also see Yellow Wagtails, Corn Bunting, Reed Bunting in these crops.
