Photographed at the northern Cannop Ponds, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire, UK.
Please can you sign this petition to stop the proposed M4 over the Gwent Levels. I feel strongly about this because it is a place I visit a lot. The damage to the Gwent Levels along with Magor Marsh and the Newport Wetlands will be irreparable!
Please look at my website bobswildlife.co.uk. There is a photo of an Red-legged Partridge, and the Smew by Dave Key in the 'Guest photographer'
Lovely Bob! :))

ReplyDeleteIt's a hard species to photograph well Bob. What with the black & white and the tufts on the head, the exposure is critical. You did a fine job mate.

ReplyDeleteHi Bob, The Tufted Duck is a very underestimated duck, you can get all different colours around the head as your first image shows, you have caught them perfectly. All the best John
