Grabbed From a Puddle

I was watching this gull as I was trying to get a photo of it with its beak touching the water just before a ripple formed. Took a few and I’ll share some others later, but for it’s just this … Continue reading

Waiting for Ice Cream

Same common starling as seen in this photo. When I took this photo I was waiting for the person in the van to pop their head out. I saw them do it before and I missed the shot. They didn’t … Continue reading

Preening and Watching

I had to wait a few minutes to get this photo. I was trying to get a few of the gull preening but it stopped whilst I was pointing the camera in its direction. Eventually it resumed but it seemed … Continue reading

Corvus coronoides in flight

Muscovy Sitting

Here’s another photo featuring a Cairina moschata, though not the same as this one. Same small space as the other one but this one had more black feathers. Anyway, this is a simple photo. Not much to say about it. … Continue reading

Moving in Multiple Directions

This was taken at the same time as these photos. I didn’t include this one with those as it didn’t quite fit. Still, I like the result here. There’s a good deal of disturbance on the stuff covering the water. … Continue reading
