Lovely image of the whistling ducks

Morris

Thanks Morris
regards Peter

Thanks Jaberg - another duck had squawked at him and he made a swift and quite aggressive reply

Thanks, Morris. Maybe I should take a small set of binoculars are a monocular with me. What I did discover is for most of the birds, ya gotta be patient and let them come to you or nearby.

Bob

Nice set, Morris. I plan to do a similar stealth set with the Egret shots but not as dramatic as a mother owl and her nest. Interesting the way it stalks its prey then grabs it in the shallow water.

Bob

Looks like the bird needs a small set of dentures! 😁

Facing west with my trusty X-T2 and 16-55 f/2.8 at the Continental Divide, Berthoud Pass, Colorado (11,300 feet above sea level). All the water on this side flows towards the Pacific Ocean, behind me, towards the Atlantic.

Thank you Morris!

More pictures from Iceland

1) Lomagnupur mountain is a huge rock on the South Coast, known for being one of the most recognizable mountains in Iceland.

2) A variety of foregrounds around the mountain contribute to making Lomagnupur a very desirable location for landscape photography

3) Fossalar river and waterfall are located in South Iceland. A series of cascades and its surroundings make it a popular stop for photographers

4) Fjadragljufur canyon (try to pronounce this...). When the glacier retreated, a lake formed in the valley behind a hard resistant rock. The runoff from the lake flowed to where Fjadragljufur is today, and erosion did the work

5) The most distinguishing feature of Seljalandsfoss is a pathway that stretches around it including the area behind the waterfall. Raingear is required to walk along the pathway

Thanks for looking!

Snared a Silvereye up in the canopy yesterday at the far end of Sydney's Bicentennial Park

Light not great even though it was early morning.

Used the 1.4 TC on the 100-400 at max reach of 560. Still this is a crop.

Was lucky to score it with a bug.

Cheers

Starting to see some Icebergs drift by...(first 2 captured with a fuji xt-5 with 16-80, third with a sony rx10iv)

Jacob, these are great! And I missed them all when I was there.

Bob

Thanks, Jacob.

That last one is impressive. Where is this?
