LCyD

Arrived early this morning and was not disappointed, Most the birds came in close enough to get good photos apart from the Wigeon, the Otter Mark has mentioned stayed in its cover and the 2 photos I managed to fire off were no good at all.
 
The Great Crested Grebe is becoming more photographed than the Waxwing now closely followed by the Female Goosander the 3 Males kept their distance all morning.

    Great set Phil, agree with Edward about the lighting. Thats the fattest Long-tailed tit I have seen.
    I have never been able to get a shot of an Otter yet at CYD.
