Hi, Ed. This whole series on the egrets has been, for me, an absolute delight! A wonderful bird, of course, and your pictures have caught those moments when its beauty has been more fully revealed for us all to see & enjoy. Thank you. Roger

Hi, Nigel. I don't think this is a very happy sparrow! (Euphemism for sick bird) Did you see him later / recovered / "rested"? (Lovely picture, all the same!) Thanks for letting us see. Roger

There is a sadness & an aprehension in this portrait which I find quite disturbing. Coker

Beautiful bird, good shot! I particularly like: the positioning of the head & beak, the way it enters the space between the wing & the tail; the injection of red of the beak amidst the blues of sea & sky; the movement in the wings with the sharpness of the body. It's a shame that wall(?) was there! Coker

Steve, Beautiful bird & a fine picture indeed! Thanks for letting us see. Best regards, Coker

Tom, By that logic, I should be the next Eric Hosking...... We have 3 Jack Russells!!! Keep on with the excellent work, a joy to see. Best regards, Roger.

Tom, Another great bird picture! Some words on your technique, please; not the technical / photographic variety, but the approach to the birds themselves. Is it a case of sit & wait to see what turns up whilst discretely placed? Bait a point with food, then as above? A hide, perhaps? I'd be very interested to know! Best Regards, Coker.

Thomas. Superb! We've had pied wagtails nesting next to our front door until recently. All have now fledged & flown. I missed that happy event. (At work!!!) Thanks for letting us all see this young bird, doing his best to a). learn how his wings work & b). be as photogenic as (your) young blue tit. Wonderful pictures IMHO. Regards, Coker

Good picture, Gary. Have you been able to identify this creature? I have a shot of him(?) as well, but not as accomplished as yours, hence its absence on this Gallery & I have not been able to find it (the bug) in The Insect Book! Thanks for letting us see, Coker.

Well, Tomkeet! Sharp, super colours, in both bird & background, & so evocative of the young of the species! One of the Best! Coker
