Another shot of one of the pair of stilts we encountered at Elmley.

Another scarce passage migrant for Switzerland although there seem to be a lot about at the moment.

As soon as I get close to the stilts, they are up in the air and calling like mad. Anyone would think I'm not welcome.

Found this a year old photo of this Black-winged Stilt at Long Valley in Hong Kong. It was amongst some folder in my computer while I was cleaning up the trash files. I really need to start putting my files in order!!

Long legs, just like Sharapova. If both of them stand side by side, who will you photograph?

The D3 had no problem picking this guy in flight and getting about 10 frames. Neil.

Common on our shallow lake at this time of the year. Yesterday I saw a pair scolding a Swamp Harrier.

Not much doing today so I thought I'd try another silhouette.

I watched about 5 grey herons land in the scrub yesterday. Being inquisitive and having nothing else to do, I followed with my 4X4. I got as near as I could to where they landed and had to get out on foot. After about twenty yards, I came upon a pool that I'd never noticed before...

This was taken whilst on holiday in Gran Canaria, at La Charca a Lagoon in Maspalomas..
