That is the most amazing detail of a cormorant I have ever seen - then eye is like jewel. The Silver Wood Duck was a real bonus. I used to cycle to Waltham Abbey when I was a schoolboy and must visit again (by car).Went to Fishers Green down the road in Essex today for the Smews. Saw them but not got the best of shots. Also found this amazing silver wood duck. Never seen one before. Almost ended up swimming with it while trying to get low to the water for a shot. A heart in mouth moment. Also got a portrait of a cormorant. Such amazing eyes in good light.

Thank youGreat shots!
Thanks. The cormorant was very close with amazing light. I would have also got the drake smew but I slipped on the mud and spooked it. First time I have been there, I will certainly go back as it only took 20 mins from home.That is the most amazing detail of a cormorant I have ever seen - then eye is like jewel.

I have hardly seen them there in the past two years.Very nice pictures AlanF. Do the kingies still perform at Lackford? Not been there a while and at the time they were charging for that hide.
Thanks Click, I'm trying to focus on getting as close as I can to get better images : these were all uncropped except the 2nd image which was only slightly cropped.Nice series. I especially like the 3rd shot. Well done, Chig.
Me too but the second is really great!Very nice pictures. I especially like the 2nd and 3rd one.
