  3. Thank you Sam. I was pleased with them. They are a challenge, but I love them.

  5. Hi Angie,
    A pure beauty this post! I love the little grebe shot a lot but have never seen this bird by my own eyes!! The buzzard was nice to you, taking the pose. We do have garganey here in Iceland. I've seen one close to Reykjavik this year., but they are so rare here that we have to make reports when we see them.

  6. Thank you Chris. It was a good day. The Garganey was a life tick for me and ID'd quickly thanks to a local bird watcher so I was very fortunate.
