Not only eagles in the port of course…
But they were flying over all the time.
Some EF 400 f/5.6L shots
400mm seems awfully short after being used to 500mm for the last 10 years…
But it is a lot easier carrying around.

And the usual winter ducks too…
A noisy morning
We slept in the car Sunday night so as to be in Oshamanbe early in the morning.
High high ISO here…
Helps if birds are white…
Some rivermouth gulls
There were 8 or 9 gull species at the rivermouth in Yakumo the weekend before last…including lots of kittiwakes.
And the various winter gulls…
Autumn here
The resident Slaty-backed and Black-tailed Gulls have been joined by some others. Lots of Vega Gulls last weekend as well as these 2.
There were also Whooper and Bewick’s Swans, various ducks, lots of Great Egret and this lone wader.
Upstream there were a few salmon (but not many: hope this just means they’re late) and the first eagle of the season. Crappy pic but always nice to see the first one.
Early morning in the port
The port was pretty quiet in the morning, just a few gulls sitting around in the morning sun…
I was very surprised to see these 3 stilts on one of the nearby rivers: never seen them so early in the season before. They looked cold…
