We have recently had a lot of rain in a short period.
The local Canada Geese are enjoying the flooded meadows adjacent to the lakes in the Parkland.
They get to eat the grass and drink at the same time, which means they don't have to keep flying back to the lakes to take on water.
Economy of effort.
Meanwhile the Green eyed Monster is chillaxing by the pool.
When there is nothing else to see it is time for a spot of Gull Shooting.
In this case Black-headed Gulls.
you picked up great bird shots Roy; enjoyed them all
ReplyDeleteThanks Carole.
Deletede weilanden staan behoorlijk onder water Roy je hebt daar een mooie reportage van gemaakt maar het meeuw-schieten is ook goed gelukt.
ReplyDeleteVery resourceful.

Some very resourceful Geese there Roy.

Thanks GG.
DeleteGreat shots of the Gulls. One family of birds hard to I.D some times with the same bird looking different depending on how old they are. Great to watch though and I love their call....
ReplyDeleteThanks Amanda, I have a lot of problems trying to ID gulls.

Hi Roy, Looks like NL, water everywhere. But... you made some nice flight shots of the Black-headed gulls. And the chillaxing green-eyed monster looks very cool, I like him!
ReplyDeleteRegards,

Cheers Roy!
Thanks Noushka, yes especially at this time of year.{:))
DeleteThanks Nora.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful shots, Roy! The last shot is really sweet.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kelly.
DeleteI recorder a total of three inches of rain here for last month. Fortunately it was fairly well spread out so no flooding to speak of.
ReplyDeleteI think it may have changed in the last couple of days John.{:))
DeleteRoy, how peaceful! I like the black-headed gull shots. I am surprised by their delicate bills!
ReplyDeleteThanks Kathie.
DeleteI love the Black-headed gull. We will get one here as a rarity. Oddly enough, my lifer was in Colorado! Yes, it was so noteworthy that I marked the date as April 14th, 1990 at Union Reservoir on the east side of Boulder County. Fortunately, we were birding with a Physicist who was English, so there was no doubt about it.
ReplyDeleteThat was great Steve. They are of course pretty common here.
DeleteSo wonderful to see the geese in the water but also the flying geese are very nice Snapped! Really a nice series Roy.
