It's breeding time. A few days ago, I could take those photos - of course, from far away and with a lot of cropping, without disturbing the birds.

It's breeding time. A few days ago, I could take those photos...

When I returned today, the coot and the Canada goose were still sitting in their nest

But on a lawn I could find this



and a bit further away also little grebes

A very grey day today. While driving past the creek my wife exclaimed, "A Kingfisher!!" We circled around and watched for a moment. Since we only live a mile away from the creek, I zoomed home, grabbed the 600mm and got a few shots.
Even though it was only about 40 feet away, a bit of cropping was still needed. I didn't use the 1.4 TC so I could use that extra stop of light. F/4 at 1/250, ISO 2000.

It's a beautiful time of year here. A Bluetit nibbling at a blossom on my apple tree, a Robin on my 17th C sundial, and a Yellowhammer in the sun, all this afternoon. (R5 + RF 100-500mm).

I'm sure you mean a good picture! Just try a duck and turkey side by side and you will see (taste!!!) the differences!

The Golden Plovers are ready to go North! Plus some of the regulars that will stay here all the year....

My wife and I went to see if the local Kingfisher was feeding this morning, but no luck. We then went to the river and watched a variety of birds, including two Kingfishers chasing and yelling at each other. I got some shots of the victor.


We also watched a female Bufflehead lounging about.
