Thanks Don, it is a superbly versatile lens for one with such a range.

It is his / her leg and as it was part of the amphibian I decided to keep it in. also with the " green peas " it smudged quite a bit

Thanks Peter

Thanks, the frogs are in the ditch alongside the carpark, outside of the WWT centre, seen them every time I visit, they are fairly well hidden thou with just the eyes above the waterline but once you've spotted one, you'll notice a few more.

A few more from the WWT London trip on Saturday, not as busy as the recent visit to Slimbridge with a lot less ankle bighters about

Did spot 2 x Green Woodpeckers on the grass early on, disturbed by a WWT warden walking close by before I could train the lens on them, also had a flypast by a Jay got itself in a tree fairly high up and could only see the back between the branches.
