Wildfowl close ups

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 Starling,  and  the Mandarin Duck by Callum in the 'Guest Photos

Black-headed Gull

 Mallard Duck female

 Moorhen
 Ruddy Shelduck
 Ruff

  18. Wonderful, wonderful portraits. Such great detail in all. I'm enjoying this post very much. Of all, I like the ruff best...only 'cause I've never seen one in real time before. But, all are truly exceptional.

    Thanks so much for your participation this weekend at I'd Rather B Birdin'! I never stop enjoying your birding photos and your expertise! Well done.
