You make good use of the 55-300. I think the black duck is my favourite here, lovely detail and beautiful reflection

Thanks for sharing!

Just great! My favorite is the Black Duck also. Great detail in the duck, nice reflection and the water is beautiful.

I cycle down that valley quite a bit.

Can be hard to believe it's in the middle of suburbia. :-)

Very good series especially the BIF shots.

yes just a 15min walk or 2 minute drive for me, although in peak times the traffic noise from the Ring Road can remind me just where I am, cheers
