Some great photos here.
I ran into a spoonbill. Usually very shy. But this time I could take a few photos. Here is one in flight - 'umbrella' position

Stuart, considering the distance and the speed of the bird, I would say that it is a great shot. There is still detail in the bird.

Cool shots! I really like the duck posing on the dead tree. Somehow I always miss them when I visit home.

I seldom have luck with the great spotted woodpecker. They are fast as hell and their nests are usually hidden behind thick leaves. However, this time I found an opening. I had to build a platform of gravel and wood, to get high enough, but it gave me free sight to the nest opening. Next challenge was to catch one of them in flight. They deliberately (I am quite sure!) flew the other way and when they came my way, it was difficult to set focus correctly. But I got a few.

This one has just finished house cleaning
