Guest Photographer

I handed my camera (reluctantly) to my almost 10-year-old grandson for the first time and he immediately started to experiment with the zoom. He took this picture and thus illustrated that a camera in the hand works for the pigeon on the roof. And the blue backdrop is actually the sky 😄.

Born with wings

I’m usually too slow to photograph birds in flight. So I appreciated the strong winds that held the seagulls in a steady position. Also thanks to the kestrels I’ve photographed over the years – their hovering made it easier.

And I am adding this photo of these great egrets who were visiting for a few days on their way south for the winter. They didn’t let me get close enough for a good shot but I managed to snap them taking.
