New Years Day!!

Well New Year is upon us, although it has not yet been a whole year since I first picked up my camera, I see this as a new start and want to start as I mean to go on, not a very good start weather wise but in two hours out and about managed to clock up 35 different species of birds, with the best two below, although have seen the Shoveler before never had it this close before,at Westport, the Goosander is a first and after seeing four at Knypersley Res, found this one by accident at Tunstall Park. Happy New Year to everyone.
