Obviously not a fan of the vegetation in between, but more than I ever I wanted to give these guys the space they need and avoid scaring them away. I tried my best to keep the leaves out, but the lake has been left out of service for months now and the vegetation has started to take over in a big way.
I guess, on the upside, it gives the photo a bit of that spying feeling which makes it peculiar
The stubble is starting to appear in the fields now and we are getting some geese showing up. Until our Icelandic friends arrive we have just got Canadas and Greylags who have just completed their moult (when they become virtually flightless) and are starting to move around again. There will be rich pickings in the stubble.
DF, Brazil.
This is a massive bird, 84–95 cm (33–38 in) long, 3.5 kg (7.7 lbs). They have a long spiny structure projecting forward from the crown. This structure is unique among birds, a cornified structure that is poorly attached to the skull and grows continuously while often breaking at its tip.

Photo taken with dusk light.
The gamut of monitors is a big problem. If I see this photo on my laptop, it looks nice, but when I use my external monitor, it seems a bit sepia-toned!
How does it look to you?

Je vous promettais depuis quelques jours en belle série à venir, nous la commençons juste.
Si je vous dis que ma couleur préférée est le marron, il est donc très facile pour vous de deviner qu'il s'agit de mon espèce de canard favorite.
Une ambiance et des couleurs qui se passe de tout commentaire...

20 août 2021, Domaine des Oiseaux, Mazères (09), l'avant de l'aile bleu vif indique un mâle, ici en plumage d'éclipse
Rio Grande, RS, Brazil.
The drake of this small duck species was perched nearby on a fence post over flooded terrain.
He shows a rich chestnut back, pale gray flanks, and a salmon-colored breast speckled with black. A distinctive black stripe runs from the crown down to the nape.
This duck keeps the plumage all year round, lacking an eclipse phase.

A trip to Linlithgow this afternoon to try out my new piece of kit - a monopod. Given the very strong winds today, it was a good choice, but even then, I was nearly getting blown over. Stability was good overall and I'm very pleased with the results.
