Nice pics Alan. Also enjoyed the Squirrels
Finish of the sequence with an Otter and I will be well impressed

mmmmmm will have to work on that one, got to get some close ups of single swans landing etc next
Nice pics Alan, I particularly like the back-lighting in the last one. What make of camera are you using? If you're a Canon man I've got a 100-400 zoom plus an extender you're welcome to borrow - ideal for nice meaty close-ups.
Cheers, Gary
cheers Gary
use a canon eos 300d rebel, have got a sigma 50-500 which I will be using for the close up shots, used the 18-55 for the shots posted.
So i am the only one humming the Dambuster theme tune then?
popped into my mind when I was taking the shots

Your first shot brought back some scary memories Alan, back when I was a bairn up to my arse in the River Eden trout fishing one of those buggers upstream from me decided to take off. Well the size of them they take some getting airborne - can't have cleared my head by more than a couple of feet

some of the cobs are ruddy big things, it came out when me and the grandson just turned two and a big lad, where feeding the swans he looked tiny beside them.
they don't come much odder than me, at least the dam busters used black bombs, with the ones that lot where dropping you could of whitewashed the dambs.
