  1. What a nice weekend to be out! Nice lot of birds there, the Garganey are one of my favourite ducks and nice pics too, I like the Great Crested Grebes especially!

  5. Well you got a tremendous amount of sighting. Nothing has started over here Yet, so maximum sighting in a day might be less than 20 ;-)
