Der frühe Vogel fängt den Wurm.. oder so in der Art.
Dieses Blässhuhn war schon früh aktiv und hat sich sein Frühstück besorgt. Es war noch ziemlich dunkel und dazu leicht nebelig auf dem Wasser..
Diving Blackberry. There are never enough Blackberries at home 😁. This glass candlestick stands on a colorful cloth napkin. I put just a litlle water inside to make the refraction look bigger.
Mark Swan's bronze sculpture "Diva" at the Royal Horticultural Society Wisley Gardens in Surrey. There are plenty of sculptures in this vast area, and this one in particular, facing a pond and surrounded by benches where people can sit down and relax, produces an element of playfulness. Playfulness is important for horticulture which, at the RHS Wisley, people are a dead serious about.

Many dives are unsuccessful and many of my shots either too late, too early or out of focus!
But that's the challenge when trying to get a good shot of a diving Kingfisher!

If you follow my images you know I’ve been spending a lot of time with the Burrowing Owls. Owls in general are a favorite subject, Burrowing Owls in particular. They have personality and watching their chicks gain confidence as they put on their feathers and venture from the nest burrow is a blast. This one is the male, who had taken up one of his hunting positions on a tree. I was doing my best to keep my lens on him, as long as my arms allowed, and luckily caught this dive down in my direction. He was headed to the ground to pick up the remains of an earlier meal he had taken there. To me, he looks very fierce in this position and I would not want to be the object of his desires. He’s been a good provider, bringing many frogs, a couple of birds and assorted insects. Frogs, by the way, are enjoyed by the owls marinated and dried out with just the right topping of sand. Hmmm good! (Athene cunicularia) (Sony a1, 200-600 lens @ 415, 1/5000 second, f/6.3, ISO 1250)

Diving little terns I always find hard to capture compared to the other 4 species found at this spot in Co. Wexford. They seem to bounce off the water and it all happens so quickly. I sat for a couple of hours in the same spot trying to get a decent shot. In that time, despite the little terns diving many more times, I got more shots if the common and arctic terns diving.
Now that COVID restrictions are being eased it was great to head back to Tom's hides in Bourne (www.wildlife-photography-hides.co.uk) recently. He has a new setup for diving kingfishers so it was great to give it a go for a few hours...

Memory of a sea trip in Vesteralen (Andenes Norway) in winter 2018. We observed the sperm whales. It was an extraordinary and moving experience.
Need to travel!!!!

The Pelicans are constantly diving for fish. They can make for great action shots. This particular shot was so close I couldn't fit the wingspan in, it works with this crop despite this.
