Just sneaking in 3 UK birds in from my recent trip to visit the folks. Was very impressed with wetlands walk with hides (which I've never used before but really liked as you feel quite close to the action without disturbing the birds and are able to observe behaviour as well as take photos) White swan at Hampton Court Palace Kingfisher. wetland walk near Stamford Chaffinch
oops..kingfisher
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best
Sounds like a great setup the Poms have there, mate. I'll show your post to Sandra who is visiting London and UK in April / May, and maybe she can find time to do some birding if she's not too busy partying!
Regards, "Tark" - Olympus 4/3rds colour
Tark, if Sandra is planning to party in London then for sure she will have plenty of time for birding as her money will run out very fast!!

Gidday Hev and welcome back, hope you had a great time in the UK, nice shots thanks for posting.
Hey Tassie, how u going? Yes,was nice to catch up with the folks in the UK but confirmed I could never live back there... not enough oxygen in the pond! Off to Sydney tomorrow for a week (thank god for Tiger airways!)and looking forward to some birding on the north shore. watch this space.

Gidday Hev, I am going well thanks, so your off to Sydney hey, I tell you what I will give you a quick driving lesson in the truck and we can swap.
Now that sounds like a top idea hey, there is a fridge in there for you to chill your reds what more could you want..lol
Tassie, tassie ,tassie
What are you thinking.....even in NQ I have NEVER chilled a RED.......
Hev, great shots, great shot of the Mute Swam, I had one fly over me while boating on a river to the west of London (old timers stop me from telling you which river) close enought to touch as it flew over. A great, if a little scary memory.
