superb pics again Darryll
The big freeze :)
Worst I've got is a screenwash pump that refuses to work anymore.
Goosanders winter and breed in small numbers along the Wansbeck here but a bird you never tire of seeing. Lovely shots.
Great flight shots.
Paul.
Wimp Darrell, it's only a bit of snow - get yourself up on the moors.
honestly dave the car would not get the hill i live on.you have seen my car its not made for this weather!!
Only kidding Darrell - did do a U-turn at Wykeham when going for the great grey shrike on Wednesday. The main access road into the forest was very poor snow & ice wise, so didn't really fancy the forest track.
The Zafira is OK for packing the kids into - worst car I've ever had in snow.
The Goosander is a beautiful bird when you get a good sighting. Nice shots Darrel.
Weather has not been too bad here this last week (frrezing cold though, far end of the forest apparently no way>
