On the hunt in the gloomy weather.

Wild Mallards are incredibly shy and hard to get close to. Shot from my boat on the broads whist fishing.Slight blur in due to reeds.

Thery are nice, but they eat your bait in shallow water! When I'm fishing, I dread them!

They keep well away in parts of the broads I'm piking on. Really shy. 

thats cause your are casting all the time, or do you live/dead bait?

No they just wont come near along with all the other wildfowl.These are proper wild ducks. Same with the tufties and widgeon they keep well away. 

Soon scatter when a marshy flies past. 

Last time out i counted 18 marsh harriers in sky at same time. 

Fieldfare this morning in Norfolk.

Some Class pictures there, of what looks like a really enjoyable musical performance. You've really captured the moment.

I'd love to see an otter in the wild. I know they're making a come back in some rivers. Much to the disdain of some anglers - one or two on here!

Great pics Mick, well done mate.

In Morrisons earlier, they do a pretty good Organic Coffee, but I'm not sure about their More Card price offers...
