Bit boring I know, but I've been up to my a*se in broken computers this week so it made a change to get out and do something :jump:

I'm a bit worried about this bird and its mate actually as its partner has quite a bit of nylon 'you know whatsit 'wrapped around it in big loops (see http://wildlifeinpixels.com/img/DSC6967.JPG - crap image big crop unprocessed) - not good ehh?

And the guys who fish here are all tweedy fly anglers:eek:

D300 etc: usual 'stuff'
ISO400
1/1600 @ f8

Bibble Pro + CS3

Thanks for looking :toast: :toast:

Hi Andy,
sad story.
Red eye is staring at me, I am fascinated by the waterdrops.
You never will be able to see them without photography.

I can get hold of an old fishing net if you want a go andy? But i think the RSPCA would be the best people to ask?

Hello Andy.

Nice portrait of one of my favourite birds.

Seen to many birds with that fishing line on them, its a sad sight :wavey:
