If it was for a really good reason or I wanted to try out a different lens, then I would consider it.<br /><br />Karen - thank you. They're very dainty birds.<br /><br />Cindy - nice to see you here and thank you for your comments.

I've been to "bits" of the Lea Valley in terms of Rye Meads and Fishers Green (just visited the hide there). I've not been anywhere else in Lea Valley so might investigate.<br /><br />Janine. Thanks - I was a bit lazy in not identifying the ringed Teal..<br /><br />Neil - Barnes is a bit quiet at the moment and water levels have been quite high. But there seem to be quite a few Snipe about at the moment. I should keep an eye on the "recent sightings" on the LWC site.Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-68456165191669238652010-01-04T08:54:14.531+00:002010-01-04T08:54:14.531+00:00Some nice photos and sightings.
