A sign of the times. The breeding season seems to be in full flow all of a sudden. At Slimbridge there were woodpigeons and coots already sitting. Lets hope we don't get a vicious cold snap again.
Nice flight shot. Eric

I like the composition in this one Ian
Reminds me of a dead one the local ranger found in a tree. It had been there for a while and dessicated and when it was shaken out it landed beak first into the ground and stuck there with wings outstretched, just like the cartoons
