They are all good, but the Nuthatch stands out......:thumbs:

The mute swan is very good as well, nice to see one in action rather than sat on the water.....:thumbs:

I was in the hide, I placed the branch in the ground in front of the window of the hide. I then put seed down in front of the branch. I also have a camo net that I hang over the window and shoot through that. I have a bit of an exhibition at Etherow in the canteen area on the right as you walk in.
