Some pics from trips to the RSPB reserve at Arne, near Poole, and Pagham Harbour, Selsey. Most taken at quite long range, so a bit ill-defined here and there.

Thanks. I was on a small cliff and a bit distant so had to shoot at full zoom of 300 mm. Pleased it came out quite well. Very clear light helped.
