The weather during the past few weeks has been generally quite dire and the chance for some decent photographs have been few and far between. However there have been a few days of sunshine and those have been the days I have, for one reason or another, been otherwise occupied.
However here are a few shots of those birds I have been able to capture 'on film'.
