Any C&C will be more than welcome.

Thanks,

Roger.


(Sorry, these seem to have come from Photobucket a little on the huge side!)

You've captured the majesty of these beautiful beasts, for sure!
& +1 for George's comment.

Roger.

Thanks, Cliff.
Appreciate it.

Roger.

That is a superb picture of a dunnock!
The colours & texture of the feathers with the snow are beautiful.

Thanks for letting us see them all.

Roger.

The original of no. 2:

Please feel free to adjust/edit as you will.

Roger.

Thanks very much, you're all most kind.

Yes, Danny, from a hide, but not possible to get lower. I suppose being so close & @ 300mm., DOF is so restricted, I may have adjusted my position to get the second shot & it was just enough to soften it off. As can be seen, the bird hadn't moved!

Thanks, Jonathan. The sky is a different colour to as-shot, but it was rather muddy as it was.....
I just wanted that anchor of the strip of bank in the shot to emphasize the movement & mass of the flock. I'll post the original & you can see what I mean & what you may think would be an alternative result.

Thanks for the constructive.

Roger.

Thanks, all for your kind, encouraging remarks.
Quite right, Brian. it's a good place isn't it?
& it'll be even better when the reed beds are up & running!

The 18-135 is not the lens I used, nor is it the one mentioned by me in my original post(!)

All taken on K7, 55-300!

Thanks again,

Roger.

All K7, 55-300.

hope they are of interest.

C&C more than welcome.

Roger

Thanks, George.
Could you let me know where you got it, please?

Roger.

Thanks for the identifications, Jon.
The last three: mayfly larva (again!); caddis fly larva, in its shelter/tube made of pieces of beech leaf; & a water snail, no idea what its called!

Thanks,FF, you really should! Imagine what might be found, now they no longer develop their film in the river!
