this poor cygnet appeared injured and dying, it had no use of its legs and was shuffling around using its wings, when we left it was lying motionless wings outstretched, if it was still alive it wont survive the temps tonight :(

Oh Mick that is so sad about the Cygnet. :(

Keep trying with the Bittern :cool: I'm sure it will show for you eventually. They do that to me, sometimes they are there and others times you've missed them by five minutes Grrr! :lol2:

I love the Smew despite it's awful name! We had a sort of competition on here to try and find another name for it. Can't remember what we went with now! :doh:

Super photos :clap4:

Loved the Oystercatcher in flight and the lovely Goldfinches. Great to see the Siskins too.

Hope you get lucky and manage a photo of the Bittern :fingerscrossed:
