    A good tour there John, thats the way the birds are found and it stops me wondering what I,m missing.
    Your 5 ducks over Leeshaw are Pink Footed Geese.

    Excellent Bri.
    No chance for me to id those Pinkies in silhoutte and in the few moments it took for them to fly over.
    But with the camera and your help - problem solved.
    I did think they were a bit on the large size for Mallard when I looked at the photo honest.
    Cheers John.

    Always pays to get a record shot, saves you lying awake at night thinking I wonder what they were.
