Martyn. As always nice pictures. Once at Mellington hall near church stoke Shropshire I rescued a Tawny owl chick and placed it in a tree after it had fallen from its nest, then watched later that evening as the parents fed it. Steve
Another visit to Leighton Moss today. Not much happening bird wise, gutted I missed the black terns. Got a few different things to post when I've downloaded them . Orchids, wild garlic, dandelions.

Martyn. Was these taken from your usual lakes ? They're a pretty little duck with a evil streak. But that's nature. Only the fittest and strongest get to mate.
There was a very unusual visitor at Leighton Moss in the week. A Black Tern. Didn't get chance to get up there to see it.
Steve
Nothing wrong with the idea. It happens with ridiculous priced lens for photographers. I mean some lens are five figures prices to buy. So companies hire them by the day , weekend , week etc etc. Go for it
Steve
Good news indeed Suz. Think I posted some pictures of swallow chicks being fed by one of the parents earlier in the topic.
Am going to Tenby in four week's so with a bit of luck will get some more pictures of what is no doubt one of my favourite birds.
Steve
Don't know about the carp lake Pete rather a mixed fishery , bit more variety . Actually where the picture was taken used to be one of the finest mixed course fisheries in the North West at Burton mere on the Wirral before Terry knight sold it to the RSPB

Thanks Russell I,m on a sabbatical from work at the moment and taking full advantage of the fact. The only problem I have is the distance traveling to take the pictures. Nearest RSPB reserves are a minimum 1 hour drive away. Have only managed a few from from local parks, back garden etc Steve
