"Waiting"
|
||
 |
||
It is nearing the end of the
incubation period for both the Black swans and the Great crested grebes.
The weather is incredibly dull and they have had to sit through some
pretty bad thunder storms and heavy rain. All now is calm and still
looking good with both families still sitting tight. All birds are sleeping
so I left them to it and went to see what else i could find. |

The Mute swans
seem pretty restless today. Without reason a dozen birds at a time would
just up and fly to the other side of the lake with much squabbling and
pulling of wings. |

Plenty of Black
headed Gulls around now with many juveniles in various stages of plumage.
The adults have already lost their black heads and are now in winter
non breeding plumage. |

One juvenile Coot having a
really good preen caught my attention. Very cute. Sadly today there
is very little around but interestingly my eye was caught by a pair
of legs. Sat down on the wooden walk way I was on eye level with the
Canada geese and I thought their legs were just calling out to be photographed.
Sometimes you can find inspiration in the strangest of places. Maybe
it is not for everyone but it is a style of photography I would like
to do more of. |
