Hi All,
Not a lot of activity, it was high tide. Did get these 3 that, for me, turned out pretty good.

Well done series. I love the third shot. You captured a lot of attitude!

My father in law goes down there quite a bit and loves it. I would like to spend more time there, but its quite a drive to get there during good light. My thoughts: the scooter could be opened up a bit, a little too dark, the egret flying is too tight in the frame, he has nowhere to go (if you actually filled the frame with the bird, I am really impressed), and love the third.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for the suggestions. Can't seem to do too much with the Scoter. As you can see from the original, he was way out there (at 500mm). Also included a new crop of the Egret. I think it does look better ... thanks again.

Wow, the scooter was way out there. Surprised you got as much as you did. Better on the egret. Good stuff. Keep it up.

Thank you Carol. It was a fun place. He definitely had a bit of attitude. After he was done, he had to shake it all out.

Thanks Karin. I was lucky since there weren't many birds in the area .... all far away, resting I guess.
