Reflective moments at Cley

Spent the day with my G-daughter at NWT reserve at Cley, Norfolk. Somewhat cloudy with mist blowing across the scrapes. Plenty of Avocets feeding, a few Cootes and Moorhens about. Shelduck in number and Pochard. Had my camera monopolised by GD but did manage to get a few lucky pictures as did she amongst the many. Most of the time the birds were too far away to get quality shots but here are the highlights. A reflective moment for a Greylag Goose. An Avocet caught in flight just pointed the camera and hoped - two part shots and this. Must try to get my eye to the view finder next time!
A little luckier with this pair of ?? ducks, though the background confuses the subject.
A long shot of a marsh harrier bringing in a reed stem for nest building. The stem is probably 5 to 6 feet long, this was the average for the reed beds. The misty conditions added to the distance result in a lack of sharpness to the photo but I include it for the interest.
