   This'll be a short thread of random bird shots from last summer (...to finally get 'em out there well before another summer arrives). Might do more of these in the next weeks until my backlog's a bit more manageable!

   Firstly, a ruddy shelduck hanging out with a flock of Egyptian geese at a local lake. They're closely related and sometimes even hybridize!
