A quick trip to Blashford Lakes and a pleasant surprise

Today took a quick trip in the afternoon to Blashford Lakes and on visiting the Woodland Hide I noticed that 1 of my pictures that I had sent in, the Redpoll, had been selected to be on their ID sheet, a pleasant surprise and my first picture in print. Middle row far right column.

These are the best shots from the day, including my first Collared Dove (Streptopelia decaocto).
