If at first you don't succeed, Blah blah blah.

A couple of trips to Slimbridge this last week or so gave me a chance to practice a few unusual shots. Slimbridge is great for these opportunities, the plethora of birds means lots to play with. Here are some shots I hope you'll like.

A Mallard washing itself.

and a pair flying away from me, not an ideal shot, but good practice.

A Greylag Goose in portrait.

Tried to get some Canada's taking off they start to and then stop.

Nearer to the centre were the Black headed gulls, these shots are self explanatory.

Finally, just for your entertainment.

There are a few other shots that I have to sort through, and I'll stick them up soon.
