Birds on the Broads
A few from New Years Day, weather grey and yucky so unfortunately not the vividness I would have liked, but choosing to take shots on a particular date in Winter means just doing the best I can at the time whatever the weather 
obligatory Swan shots of course
Thanks for looking

Hi Patch, it's very hard to get nice punchy shot on such a dull day, but you have done an admirable job with these. My favs are the action shots, especially like the take off shot, number 5.
I love the broads and visit the east cost when ever I get the chance.

Thanks for the lovely comments
Ken, if you are heading over to the Broads again sometime, perhaps a meet-up could be possible if you didn't mind ? It would be lovely to have someone to shoot with, that's if you could put up with me picking your brains for tips every five minutes

Hi Patch
It would be a pleasure, although my daughter is all grown up she like dad to take her to the seaside and broads each year, so next time I'm over that way I'll give you a PM.

I often curse our dull weather when it comes to photography but you've got some good action shots there Patch.
That said - I really like the one of the gull walking away from you LOL
