The snipe does look funny in the water Linda, nice video and photo. Marsh was enjoying his handout

Am glad it's not just me that thinks it looks odd

Lovely selection of photo's Linda and the otter does trump them all

Super variety, all well captured Linda, the song thrush is a lovely portrait, looks like you had a drop of nice light. Not going to mention the otter, not seen ours for ages lol. Ta for sharing
