Hi Les, cracking shots! Those Avocet ones are superb.

Noticed you're from Taunton, so would that be the Bridgwater bay, River Parrett estuary by any chance?
I was up at Steart Marsh this morning about 5.45, second car there, and saw several people on my return with huge prime lenses and got a serious case of lens envy! I live on the edge of Quantocks and have only just got back into photography again as one of my sons is doing it at school so we've been getting up at the crack of dawn to do some recces etc.
 
Excellent shots, Les. (y)

I am slowly running out of wall Gary :) - I don't think my images would qualify for spening tons of cash on an extention to the house :) :)

Well caught, Les
Excellent set!!

I tried to capture something simple like Fulmars in flight on the coastal cliffs up the road.
By the time I find them in the viewfinder the bird is long gone :LOL: :LOL:
