Hi all,
Haven't been here for a while...started dating a new girl who happens to be Chinese, so between her and trying to learn Chinese, I haven't had much time for photography! We'll be going to China in April/May and visiting a wetland area so really looking forward to seeing what birds are there! Should be amazing!
Anyway here's a selection of the shots I've taken over since December which I've only just got round to processing.
Wigeon walking on ice
Another Wigeon
Couldn't believe this one. Went to Alkborough Flats to get the Beardies. I've never seen a water rail before, went into the first hide and there are THREE right in front of us! Stayed mainly in the undergrowth but kept running out so managed to get a decent one

I've never seen a photo of one swimming before...probably just my lack of knowledge but I didn't know they swam out to catch fish so I was happy to get this even though it's not the best shot and the light was dull etc.

Reed Bunting
First Goldeneye shot I've got. Spent a good few hours down the local lake trying to get this one to come close but lots of dog walkers around. The morning I was due to leave (this was back home at my parents house) it came really close and the sun was out so I was really happy with this

Hopefully I'll be able to get out and about again soon!
