Does anyone have a nice pic of a Shelduck - Pochard - Whimbrel - Curlew please?
Pics need to be >3Mb in size (for good print reproduction) and are needed by Clevedon Pier Heritage for possible inclusion in a new booklet to be published about the pier history.
Full credit to anything used.
Thanks everyone.
