The river is the Eamont. Great picture Steve. The storm is causing real problems for many people isn't it - not a great lead up to Christmas for those who have suffered flood or wind damage. We've had high winds here in Notts but have been spared the torrential rain. It's also very mild - 13 degrees today, and the wind is dropping.

Popular Post Amsterdam Russ Posted December 10, 2015 Author Popular Post Share Posted December 10, 2015 Must admit to having a soft spot for setting up and taking Christmassy shots like this one of a snowman in his snow globe (although to me it kind of looks like a snowman stepping through some sort of space/time portal!). The green effect in the background comes from a small light-up tree decoration, which I placed behind and I used a small torch to provide some side light and to create some shadow at the same time. Camera on a tripod… room lights off… click, click, click… and away you go! 9 Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Only recently for the first time, They seem to be very common in the Northwest this year. They must have had a very successful breeding season last year. They have such a distinctive round face when flying. Not had any opportunities to photograph them though, but here's hoping its soon.
