Hi Barrie,

Well if your going to photograph this species then you may as well do it in style

Colin's Range Rover sounds a much better option than a rickety old hide on a boggy riverbank

Really fine shot and set against a particularly attractive backdrop.

Was the hide part of the Colin Picket Wildlife Watching range?

Stylish shot (and hide).

Hi Barrie,
Very nice Reed Warbler , the diagonal perch works a treat and that BG looks like it's been painted with oils , once again Very nice.

Kind regards
Andy...

Very nice shot Barrie, good soft colours.

Cracking image. The rim lighting lifts the bird away from the bg very nicely
