nice to get a different set of action images

A flammeus
we always moan when the sun fails to appear but diffuse light can be good for some subjects
Wildfowl
a flying Coot not an easy image to get surprisingly; a local white headed female Pochard that has been visiting for a few winters and a flock of smart Teal
Marsh Harrier and wildfowl
one Marsh Harrier allows you to count all the ducks in the area -- Shoveler, Gadwall, Mallard in here
Teal bast off sequence
the first time this year that the Teal flock has been remotely close; a hunting Marsh Harrier was useful

Mute Swan, Gadwall and Goldeneye
it is always a challenge to make a different image out of a commonplace bird like the Mute Swan -- evening light is great at this time of year
Bitterns and light and habitat
a different series of Bittern shots; they have been more active this week than for many years!
Little Grebe and Shoveler
nice reflections today in the brief sunny spells -- the Shoveler were displaying but never came in close
Shoveler at 3200 ISO
surreal water and female Shoveler at 3200 ISO on Canon 1DIII - amazing what you can get even in appalling light if need be

Bittern bonanza
two close Bittern fly-bys in one day was really too much -- certainly for the AF that missed three out of six of these shots or was it my violent shaking movements!
converter removal needed
Having spent many 100's of hours hoping a Bittern would come closer it would be churlish to complain that this one was too close but as I had the 1.4 converter on at times I could not fit it in the frame and getting the bird central in the camera from a cramped slot was more than tricky --now if I was a true pro of course I would say a planned the shot with the bird moving into the picture leaving its rear end to the left to create more impact
