First class Tom. Such colourful little birds. Low Barnes must be not far from me, is it the nature reserve near Whitton-le-Wear?

Is this closer than that, or is it your super monster lens pulling it in?
Quite close Alan, 15 - 20m I think but the lens does help. Is this closer than that, or is it your super monster lens pulling it in?

You probably have more chance of catching 3 generations of Kingfishers sitting lined up on a branch holding a pike between all of their beaksOff to Cumbria soon to find some nice clear skies.
My wife's a Cambrian - never forget the first time she took me to see her birthplace. Couldn't see it!!!!!!!!!!!
Stunning set as usual Tom - #2 is the stand out for me
Carl
No matter how many lenses I have owned - I have always needed just one more
