The duck on fence one is really nice, Sharp dof.
And the colourfu duck one is very colourful!

Elvis, If this was to be there new colour strip, then at least the apposing team might stand a chance of seeing them coming.
Not a Flamingo. its an Ibis.. should have named them really.

Have you been to Gracelands?.

I want to get to Pensthorpe at some stage, and having seen these it might be sooner rather than later! Was the Curlew really one-legged?!

Witch, Highly recommended, Its well worth the trip, I would say get there early and expect to walk quite away & to spend most of the day, they have cafe which prices are ok, but we preferred to take a picnic.
I was not expecting such a good day I didn't go fully prepared with lenses although I did have my monopod +70-300VR which was beneficial.
I’m going to return later when there will be more species to view such as the Butterflies. The images are just a tiny part of the hundreds of various birds etc there.

The Curlew has two legs , you can just see the other foot hidden in its breast area.

All the best.
