Have you edited the photos? Because there is little difference in the green eye flash between the American and Eurasian teal in fact they have the same Latin name Anus Crecca only the American version has Carolinensis at the end of it. Yet your pics the green eye flash looks blue. TC Tiercel they came out with blue eye flashes all of them! That's what threw me, might have been the lighting conditions which were bright but weird and most of my pics came out worse that I expected for a sunny day. I did apply so filters but nothing that changed the colours. Could just be the reflec

American Teal I think?

What camera do you have Pinacle? So far anything moving comes out blurry and needs loads of post editing. I understand that the more I zoom in the slower the shutter speed but I'd love to get pictures of birds in flight like that.

We popped over to Malltraeth today turns out redshanks aren't exactly rare, there were millions of the buggers...I was feeling like David Attenborough on Sunday when I saw one Here's a pintail that wouldn't play ball and put his head up for me

The BBC lied about the Ukraine crisis, I proved that and it was embarrassing what they were saying at the time. The good thing (if there is such a thing) about wars is there is lots of footage to see on Liveleak, it's hard to ignore hundreds of destroyed tanks for example. The BBC for 6+ months had stories saying the Ukrainian army was taking Donbas when the reality was they were getting mauled, yes it was propaganda but also out and out lies. If they lie then it just destroys the faith of the reader.

It depends on what you want to know about, I generally use the regular MSM as a starting point to see what they're talking about and then research properly if I'm interested. What do you think Trump and Sean Spicer have lied about?

I've been reading a lot in the European media, and it seems much more distorted than usual. I understand the concerns, we all have them, but the opposition blame fake news for his election and then continue to publish heavily loaded articles as a rebuttal. Again as much I as don't particularly care for him, he deserves to rise and fall on what he's done not what news agencies say he's done. Pulling in private sector managers to analyze public sector waste is something you and I have prattled on about for ages. He's actually doing it! I never thought I'd live to see that. The real f

If the Universe is infinite does that not mean there are infinite possibilities? It's hard to wrap your head around the Universe, where does it end and what is beyond it?

Thing with the expensive wellies is they're great if you're only using them on occasion but if you use them every day it's going to get expensive. I've got two pairs of Le Chameau which I've had for 5 to 6 years but didn't use daily and both are a bit knackered. I love my Meindls but again they're very expensive but Ithink much more hard wearing plus my ankles are fooked and they are good for support

I would prefer good hunting boots over wellies for walking distances but I guess there is a reason you want wellies over boots?

Not sure what ours were fed on but several had yellow fat as well

These fights account for a lot of their deaths and is one reason they have a high mortality rate. I read that they can live past 4 years old but most don't make it because of the territorial nature of them.

But it's still fine for the establishment, media & Co to mock someone who may not benefit from the best education or be confident of speaking in front of a crowd. Sickening as always
