Lovely shots tomyboy, the kingfisher is beautiful....as for that 'fish killing diving duck' ........ I'd much rather he stuck to the oceans ....but I suppose if we hadn't emptied them he might well have done so

Gorgeous pics, gorgeous birds. We can spare a few fish for the (blue?) cormorant...

That`s great , they`re some sight in flight, lucky to catch one posing. Maybe see you down there one day, i`ll be the guy stalking about the bushes

Fair play on the kingfisher photo! I see lots, as I'm a regular open canoeist, but am still to get near enough to get anything like as good a shot as that.

Cheers, i was just about to put my camera away when i saw it sitting on the bank of the river. It then flew away under the bridge and rested on the grass/reeds on the other side. I even got it with a fish in it`s mouth but never saw it pulling it out of the water !
