Sublime and Beautiful Sunday for the birds

Sublime and Beautiful Sunday for the birds

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by @c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by @ace108.

With the cooler weather I havent bene out for many early morning sunrise walks of recent, but i have made some daytime photowalks and will share a few shots from visit to the Buttonwood Park Pond recently

Normally at this time of year there are some other types of geese and birds on the pond but with the lack of rain and the drought impacting this area the water level in the pond is a lot lower than usual ad I guess that makes it less interesting for other birds but I did get some shots worth sharing and hence this post.

I should add before getting to the photos that yesterday and today we have had steady rain which we sorely needed, not heavy rain more light for the most part so not sure how that has impacted the water levels I will see when I head out next
Starting with this swan looking quite regal on the water

Mostly on my morning walks i use my wider angle lens the Tamton 17-28mm and tamton 28-75, so it was nice to get out with my two longer lenses for these walks and shots a tamron 50-400mm and sony 200-600

and finishing off with this shot of the heron, it has good hearing and doesnt like people close by this shot was at the full reach of my longer lens I then tried to walk quietly to get closer but it flew off to the other sid eof the pond

It looks like the weather isn't too bad yesterday before the rain moved in. Great shots of the geese and heron. I love watching birds, they are amazing survivors. I hope the rain moves through quickly and doesn't turn into snow!

no snow here yet but a chance of some later inthe week but I dont think we will get much

Nice duck butt shots 😆 the swan photos are nice too 👍

Very nice the geese, and very nice your photos. How nice that they make you smile, sign that you enjoy them. Greetings and nice week to you 🤗.

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

Have a great day

Beautiful shots my friend. love that first one and I have never captured that species before.

Thanks kindly your support is appreciated

we getr a nice variety here either at the pond or along the shorelines, waiting for a warmer day to go out and see if any of the winter birds have arrived
Have a great day

Great timing to be able to catch the pair of them dipping down at the same time.

Funnily enough it was the opposite, I guess food inthe pond was good for them that day they wer epoppingb down so much, it was harder to get shots of them with their heads out of the water

Or another perspective is food was more difficult to find so they had to "dig" harder. 😎
