A combination of other commitments and a new job have meant that I haven't got out as much as I would have liked recently. When I have got out I either have managed only distant record shots (Cattle Egret, Little Stint and Black Necked Grebe) or shots of birds I have already captured. I have managed a couple of new species recently (Pintail and Red Crested Pochard - below), I have also included a couple of other photos I have taken recently including my first ever Sussex Ring Ouzel.
