Thanks for the comments on my last image. I will be back at the same spot next weekend, weather permitting, as I still have some shots I would like to get from there.
This was taken while I was waiting for the Bittern to show up. There seemed to be an endless number of Tufted Ducks taking off in front of the hide and flying right over the top of it. I was lucky with this one as both birds are in focus.

Seems you have a lot of success in Barnes. Maybe time i show up!
Very nice and to get 2 in flight is an added bonus!

A great in-flight shot Oscar. You certainly seem to be getting the best of the London Wetland Centre. This is well composed and exposed with a lovely graduated background. Very nice indeed.

Nice shot, well caught, the large version looks great. I like the comp and graduated background.

Great shot Oscar, those yellow eyes really stand out even in flight. It looks like you have a dust bunny just to the left of the lead birds right wing almost at the base of the graduation.
