Nice to get behind a camera again(and a cheap lens :biggrin: )after a few weeks. Pity I have to start with one of the most nervous birds I have ever photographed. :eek:

They are very nervous here as well, especially when blackbirds are about. :biggrin: On reflection an excellent image. :smile: :wink:

Always a nervous bird in my experience. Good shot, John.

Nice on John. Try a polorizer, that should sort the reflection out. :)

Could be the stuff in the water but it looks like it needs a CCW rotation. The thrushes in my garden are pretty tame but as David T has said do avoid the blackies. Nice pool shot and am very glad to see you up and about JR. Can't keep a good man down.......least ways not for too long!

Mick- yes maybe a little ccw. Hard to tell at the moment- standing up straight is a problem at the moment. :frown:
