Good to catch up with Barrie, Carl, Neil, Tom. And to meet Tom's wife, Carole, as well as Dave and his son Daniel at Washington today, Still going through photos, but thought I'd put up a taster. I'll add some more on this thread later.

Barrie rang me last week and invited me to this, unfortunately I was pre-booked.

Looking forward to seeing some great shots from you guys, meanwhile I'll second Neil's comment, "where the heck did the flamin ingo come from"

OK. I confess. The flamingos weren't out. Presumably too cold.

Here are just a few from the day

Stop posting pics like this, it's making me feel depressed seeing the opportunities I missed

Some very nice shots here, chaps. Particularly like the otter and cranes (Alan), black swan and reflective ringed teal (Tom) and red-breasted goose (Neil). Next time you plan a Washington day out, perhaps one of you could drop me a PM. It's about 280 miles for me, but I can manage day return trips to Croft circuit without any bother and Washington is only about 25 miles more distant...

Myself and Daniel had a good day guys, nice to meet you all, some of you again! Here's some of Daniels, which is the first time he's ever used a camera other than a compact so I was well impressed! Mind, as you'll have noticed the number of shots taken, it took a while to get through them all on the pc!!
