Re: My shot of 2021
Very good Dave ...any target species this coming year? I would nominate the weasel, only seen 1 in the last 40 years and that was a few weeks back ...prior to that only ones I saw were in fenn traps.

Re: My shot of 2021
At Alkborough, there were loads of them very close when I went. I've not been to Blacktoft either, but a mate went and got decent shots.
Apparently they are also at St Aidens, and occasionally seen, but in low numbers, at Old Moor - but I've never seen them there and it's local to me!

Stunning picture, the feathers are pin sharp, and the poor wee minnow looks gutted
