On the way back
On the way home I got a message there was a Lesser Scaup in one of the ports
I’d seen one last year in Mukawa; nice to see one on the way home.
A quick stop on the way there #2
A heavily cropped record shot but a nice local rarity; only my 4th one (and my 3rd at this particular spot).
It wasn’t the only diver…
Another heavy crop of this fly-by; this is also a great spot for this species…
A quick stop on the way there #1
Just got back from a short trip. On the way we stopped at one of the ports on the way; the first time I’d been there since the New Year break..just a brief check with the lightweight 600 f/11.
There were 6 Long-tailed Ducks…
