Some Firsts for Me

[Andysnap]

I know that these aren't great shots in themselves but it was the first time I've managed to capture all of the following birds. In fact I think its the first time I've actually seen most of them.

Avocets

2 and 3 are the pick of the bunch. And good for handheld

Really good reed warbler shot, it's not easy to get them without reeds in the way.
Number 2 is a sedge warbler btw

Nice set of shots always good to get your first of anything.
