Great shots of the Eider Duck Brash :D never ever seen one of these before :(
 
I love the elder duck (y) but both have been captured really well, it's just I've never liked cormorants :LOL:

They speak very highly of you Matt:D

Loving that Elder Duck shot! Some other crackers in there too, keep it up :)

Thank you(y)

Oh wow some super shots here.. excellent work..(y)

Great shots but I do actually like Gulls anyway - some have great little personalities :) (must be one of very few people in the 'I like Gulls' fan club :LOL:)

Fieldfare

Crawton, Aberdeenshire - 24/01/2013

Not the best of Fieldfare pics but I spent ages chasing these about in crap light:bang: so better than nothing I suppose:shrug:

The Dunnock in this first one is a bonus (I'll no count it as one of the species in it's own right tho:D)

Brambling

Loch of Kinnordy, Kirriemuir, Angus - 30/01/2013

I vowed I'd not post any garden/bird feeder shots BUT this is the first Brambling I've ever seen and in my excitement I just snapped what I could. Waited for ages ankle deep in snow for it to return so I could get a more natural shot but he didn't re-appear. It was shot on an RSPB, nature reserve so I'm allowing myself this one:D;)

Smew

Loch of Kinnordy, Kirriemuir, Angus - 30/01/2013

A first for me of a pretty rare bird and certainly totally unknown where I live so I was over the moon even just seeing this beautiful wee fella let alone being able to photograph him. The pics were taken from a hide about 250-300 yards away from the bird with an 800mm lens so they are crops, ain't the best quality and are effectively record shots but I'm chuffed to bits to have been able to get them. That along with the Brambling, makes 2 new species for me in one day. Love it(y)

Cheers Vinny(y)

My dear Carol, beauty is in the eye of the beholder:love:. Any how, they're way more interesting than plain old Mute swans. They're boring:thumbsdown::thumbsdown:

lol I suppose it is :D Maybe they were just having a bad day that day ;)
will have to see if I can find anywhere that they go to and pay it a visit .... they might seem a bit nicer if I see them myself :D
 
Some wonderful, well there all of a very high standard, photo here again, I think the two highlights for me since my last visit must be the Brambling and the Smew, what seriously cool looking birds (y)
