Lovely shots Dave, a bird-feeder is a wonderful way of getting them to be still for a moment. |

Lovely photos Dave - I've never seen a Ruddy Shelduck, nor have I head of them, is it a migrant? I love the feather markings of the Pintail, your Smew looks like it might be swallowing that stone, I've seen that behaviour at Arundel. Super photos Dave

Beautiful photos Dave, like everyone else my eye went straight to the Ruddy Shelduck, which is a new one for me. |

Thanks everyone. I thought it might be a snail/mollusc as well but i can't quite make it out. Ruddy Shelducks are found in the UK, most are escapees from wildfowl collections but occasionally, true wild birds do turn up from southern Europe. |
