My wife (a non-photographer) got this shot with a FZ1000 I bought her for the trip. I believe it is a Kingfisher AND a very ambitious bird.

A cold, wet day today. Didn't quite get the focus right (slightly forward). The camera was drenched, but it was worth it

Hi David.
Wow! What a stunning array of colours, nice shot.

To all recent posters, lots of excellent shots, I know I should comment on all of them but please accept this pat on the back from me, not a shot that is not worthy of praise.

Cheers, Graham.

Hi Don.
Loons always seem to float low in the water, like loaded barges on a river! Lovely shots.

Cheers, Graham.

Thanks dpc. Its another wet day, so, I suspect the camera and I will get wet again. One thing about the weather is its bringing the small birds out, but keeping people away

This time using a 70D with Sigma 150-600mm Sport. My 7D Mark II is waiting for service (I accidentally submerged it):

Thankfully coming to the end of the annual lull in birds here now. Anyhow here's a female chaffinch (500mm, f/5.6).

Hi Scyrene.
You may not get many, but you get cute. Very nice pose, great shot.

Cheers, Graham.
