All posts on the subject of my photographic practice.
There are some spoonbills here, if you look closely…
Reading Time: 2 minutesVery excitingly, it appears that some spoonbills have returned to nest at Fairburn Ings, so we went for a walk to try and see them. Sadly the promised viewing area close by the main visitor centre had not materialised, but a kind gentleman allowed us …
More Diana
