Birds A day at Wells-Next-The Sea

[Uncle Kevriano]

A few shots from a gloriously sunny, if chilly, day at Wells-Next-The-Sea. Norfolk. One of my favourite spots for a walk along the estuary. When it's sunny the light there is sublime in Winter. The Northern Diver was a lifer bird for me too.
As a point of interest. You will see I have been playing with Firefly Upscaling in Photoshop. It works extremely well, very impressed with it so far, though not with the 4x Upscale, that seems to create artefacts.
