Took a short drive down to Swanpool at Falmouth yesterday morning as an unusual visitor had turned up on the pool.
Normally spending all its time at sea and on estuaries in winter this Common Scoter decided to pay a visit to the land locked water of the pool.
Normally only seen a black specks out at sea it was great to get such close views of this lovely bird, at times it was coming so close the lens could not focus on it, and it was willing to take as much bread as it could get.
So after over 200+ shots I have selected the set below as a good selection to post.
Brilliant images Mate,might go down tomorrow mornning.
ReplyDeleteJohn.

ReplyDeleteWell done Monty, the photos are lovely! Amazingly, (there is normally very little of interest) there were two at my local reservoir last week but I didn't find out until afterwards :-(
