Photo Gallery

This is a gallery of some recent Somerset birds by a variety of photographers. If you have any images that you'd like to appear here, please send them through to me by clicking here.

Please size the images to 500 pixels wide and do not send files larger than 1MB. Not all images will necessarily be used and older images will be deleted as there's only a small amount of space available. [please note, I'd rather not have to resize images, images other than those 500 pixels wide may not be used - thanks!].
