This guy really cooperated - kept landing and taking off from the same perch, hitting the water, so was able to set up and get him right when he was coming back to roost!

*** The Shelduck seemed to be singularly unimpressed by the noisy and boisterous landing on this trio of swans . I took this shot in 2018 at the RSPB reserve at Blacktoft Sands in East Yorkshire .

THANKS FOR YOUR VISITING BUT CAN I ASK YOU NOT TO FAVE AN IMAGE WITHOUT ALSO MAKING A COMMENT. MANY THANKS KEITH.

ANYONE MAKING MULTIPLE FAVES WITHOUT COMMENTS WILL SIMPLY BE BLOCKED

While visiting San Diego recently, I had an opportunity to stop by one of my favorite locations for views of the San Diego Skyline, Coronado. Had a great meal while waiting for the sun to go down, then set up the camera for a shot of the night sky.

If you get a chance to visit San Diego and Coronado, don’t forget to stop by the Hotel Del Coronado, its an amazing place with gorgeous views of the Pacific Ocean. And, Ladies, if you are lucky you can sip an umbrella cocktail and watch those Buff Navy Seals perform "BUDS" training on the beach : )

Coronado is a California resort city on a peninsula in San Diego Bay. It’s known for the grand Victorian Hotel del Coronado, which opened in 1888. Across from the hotel, the wide, flat Coronado Beach draws surfers and sunbathers. The Coronado Ferry Landing has shops, restaurants and a small beach. Nearby, Centennial Park offers San Diego skyline views.

American Widgeon (f) improvised landing on ice. View Large On Black Fascinating to watch how the birds adapt to landing on ice. They do learn what works for them. Hopefully a chuckle for the day! IMG_1016

common buzzard I think

A Great Egret approaches a snag for a landing at Little Creve Coeur Marsh in St Louis, Missouri. I really like this version in black and white. Check out those water droplets coming off of both feet as he opens his claws to grab a perch!

This is for my friend Ethan, here is a landing image, albeit not on water but landing just the same, and being so big he over shot as you will see tomorrow.

Have a great day everyone and thank you for stopping by, catch up later.
