More than just reasonable pics, you would have had some great entries there for last week's competition. I particularly like the redshank with its reflection in the water, the lapwing with its iridescent colours and the lighting of the pintail.

The lighting is lovely on these, sort of low and warm but without glaring highlights that can so often be caught off the water reflections. No favourites - all of the same high standard

What LennyBloke says. And you haven't done any wildlife photography for years? Hard to believe looking at these images.

Love the iridescence on the lapwing. No doubt a competition judge would mark you down for eye not being bright, sharp and with a highlight. Doesn't matter to me. Great shot.

Great pictures John. I guess you must be very pleased with these.
Thank you for posting the picture of the lapwing. I've never seen one up close and had no idea of their beautiful colours.

Getting older and grumpier. Taking longer to decide which lens to use today.
