There was a mad rush to get out in the sun first thing in the morning.
We have been suffering constant rain for weeks and this hampered any meaningful nature photography.
The first image is looking out over Weymouth Bay into the sun. It is a few steps over the road from Lodmoor Reserve.
There are tentative sings of Spring as I observed many small birds chasing each other around the branches. A sure sign of searching for a mate.
A resting male Wigeon Duck, one of many on the Reserve.
This Herring Gull was sitting on the water.
It suddenly dived and came up with its lunch.
A Freshwater Crab.

The Long-tailed Tit image below is real, but the sky behind was a dull grey, so I have replaced the sky during post processing I would always mention if I have altered an image.
This Chiffchaff below was darting about the branches catching flies.
Little Egrets
Hei Roy! Vau miten upeat valokuvat! Siellä on aivan ihana ilma nyt.
ReplyDeleteKiitos Anne. Viimeinkin sää alkaa parantua.
DeleteLovely photos, especially the Long Tailed Tit in flight! So glad you got some sunshine. We have been having very wet weather too and parts of France are suffering from flooding. Glad I live on top of a hill! The hills down below are really soggy with standing water in places. So it's not all great news from the south of France!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mandy. The flooded fields are not getting the chance to subside yet as we still keep getting some rain that tops them. Really annoying.
DeleteLovely as always! Love the Long tailed Tit photo and the gull with the crab shots!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Mary. It was good to hear from you.
