I took a walk from Kingston Bridge to Teddington Lock and back this afternoon. The light was fantastic and I got some great shots of the wildfowl.
Sadly, I can only choose one photo, so despite having some other great shots (which you can see at the Flickr set and include this gull flying under Kingston Bridgeand this pair of great-crested grebes looking over a jetty) I pick this one of a mute swan flying down the Thames.
It's the sort of shot I've wanted to capture for ages, and the light on the wings and water spray is just right.

Red liquid in glass
I forgot to reset the high ISO from yesterday's work, but I could always suggest that the grainy effect was planned — slightly odd having grainy liquid — maybe they're bubbles?
Oh well, I might try some more of these at some point. Still like the general effect.

Grey heron in flight
Seen over one of the ponds in Horton Country Park on a beautiful sunny nearly-spring morning. Another photo that deserves viewing full size.
Other shots of this heron, plus a flying crow and a coot on the water can be seen in today's Flickr set.

Robin in tree
This lovely little robin was singing in a tree in Horton Country Park. Gorgeously set against the blue sky on a sunny March afternoon. This photo deserves to be seen full size.
