That would be all morning for me, rarely eat breakfast.
You are so lucky to have such things on your doorstep Les, and be able to get such fantastic pictures of them

Nice selection here, particularly like the Snipe, my favourite little wader!!

Such gorgeous plumage, takes me back to my winter birding walks in the Norfolk broads...wish I was there now!!!

The Chaffinch looks a bit poorly, fluffed up a bit. I know that Chaffiches are being affected by a virus similar to the one that Greenfinches had some years ago. Great photography, the Snipes are superb.
