New guy - new photos

Hi people. Just joined the forum a few minutes ago and thought I would share a few of my nature photos.

If anybody knows the name of the bottom flower, please do tell! I have little to no knowledge about plants.

First three are great. Two is incredible, love the detailing on the water trail.

Number four is a close up of some flowers. But hey, no-one's perfect

Lens was 135 - 400mm Sigma. I'm getting frustrated recently with the slow autofocus on it.

Hello & welcome Carlitos!

The second shot is superb!!
I've never seen one of these before!, are they migratory birds?

Little Egret's are quite common on the south coast, or at least I see a lot of them around Poole harbour (breeding ground at Arne I think). They're not too shy either.
