A few recent local birds...

[Uncle Kevriano]

With Lockdown still in full effect, and our weather being utterly rubbish, getting out and taking some decent shots is a real challenge at the moment. Here's a small selection from my last 2 local walks. The Egyptian Goose Goslings are very cute of course, and I love the intensity of the parent birds eyes. They really look right through you.

Every time I see your Mandarin Duck photos, I think "He most certainly bought that in a Department Store, not real! Fabulous shooting!

Haha. thanks Jeff. They are the most extraordinary ducks. I actually have some nice close ups from last year. I'll find them and put them up.

that seagull seems unimpressed with the bread declaration.

I think he was showing disgust at the people still throwing bread By the way, it's proper name is a Black Head Gull. We get thousands of them here.
