A pleasant stroll through a reserve yesterday

... the sun was out, butterflies & damselflies, birds calling and flying from almost everywhere. But it wasn't until I was making my way back to the car that I got lucky with these 3 birds.

Lovely images!

I particularly like the last one.

Thank you.

I'm fond of the long-tailed tit, such a beautiful tiny bird with a unique pronounced eyelid, but I often wonder if it struggles to feed with such a small beak. I'm sure it doesn't.

They're all great but I love the cormorant.

Thanks. That happens to be the best I've captured a Cormorant. I usually see them too far away, or the wrong light to get any detail.

The setting he's in is just perfect.
