Got a tip for us?

I miss these days of open gathering. Also, I miss visiting Vancouver! Great city, great people!

Another shot from Turnbull NWR, a pair of Trumpeter Swans. At the distance I was away from them my 70-300mm lens was not good enough to get a closer shot.

The Pīwakawaka / NZ Fantail is a tempting but difficult subject. Weighing in at just 13 grams / 1/2 ounce, it is fearless as it flits around catching prey on the wing, and is seldom still for more than a moment. It often follows larger creatures, such as bumbling humans, who stir up insects in their wake....... Managed to snap this one a couple of weeks ago, but still looking for a better shot.

Having a snack: Rodentia #2 by Ray Harrison, on Flickr
Lunch time. Each blue tit baby needs 100 of these a day apparently. With up to 10 babies in a clutch, it's no surprise they are so busy this time of year. They will be off soon though.
I've been putting my phone (iPhone SE) to the test because I haven't had the time to get out my DSLR a whole lot. Hopefully I can get some time to take my DSLR out some soon
I’m sure I’ll find something other than birds to share eventually.
Yeah .... another bird ..... maybe something else later in the week ...
Yesterday a couple of geese started getting nasty to each other.....

Since the Lockdown, I've seen there is a lot of project diaries where I'm just taking limited photographs to go for a distance walk. Let's be honest, if we're not walking in the right places then how is it possible to take nice views! Great shots man, stay safe and keep up the good work.
I am liking the tones put out by the D200 / Sigma 150-600 combo, and it makes an excellent tele-macro...
