Its a nice capture Mike , a little more head turn and a lower pov would improve it imho.

Yep I agree on both points, but I'm not too sure that Thames Water would be too chuffed with me clambering about on a slimy concrete banking on their reservoir to get down to eye level :rolleyes:

Mike,

Nice capture - same nits as everyone else plus a hefty dose of jealousy :smile:

I am just getting to grips with the Farmoor site, I think it has great potential with 2 wildlife areas beyond the causeway that splits the reservoir into 2, hope to pick up my hide key this Friday. My lunchtime sorties are restricted to wandering along the causeay at present as the distances are just too big.

Now the clocks have changed I should have better light conditions after work now and have longer to explore the environs

Since this is fairly local to us I look forward to hearing how you are getting on
