It is May and the shore along the Lake is filled with birds. Some are wading, some floating, some flying. It is the flying ones that are the most difficult to photograph—they are usually fast and distant. Yesterday, I had three modest successes in taking detailed pictures of flying birds.
A male Hooded Merganser and his son flew low enough over the water to have a good reflection.
Although this Cliff Swallow was in the sunlight, it was against a very dark background.
As I was trying to take pictures of Cliff Swallows, a female Osprey landed behind me. Shooting quickly, I did not realize that it was banded until I examined the pictures later.
Beautiful
I love your photography. What an inspiration!
Wow – the HOME shot is really great. And the other two are as well! I love your pictures, Alistair.
Your flight shots are becoming very good!
Superb
