A family of Giraffe walking along the plains of the Maasai Mara.
This image is barely processed, it really does get like this in the Mara. Especially as there is a storm coming in.
Getting ready to go back to Kenya next week, so all the packing and planning of what I'm looking for in shots is going into play. Never really know what you'll get until you get there, but I always make a mental picture of what I'm looking to create before I go out. Sometimes it works, sometimes it takes years to achieve, but I always seem to get there in the end.
This was a fluke image, but it's one I had in my head for quite a while
We have bluebirds nesting next to our veggie beds. I got lucky today and spotted one of the babies just as it was leaving the nest. Had the 300 zoom on the Canon and got Paul to pop open the window. Propped the lens on my splinted broken wrist and managed a few shots before the baby flew away. It was so tiny and fluffy that I didn’t think it was ready to fly but it managed just fine
This Bird can be seen Mainly on freshwater lakes, gravel pits, reservoirs, rivers and town park lakes when deep enough. Sometimes seen offshore, especially in winter if freshwater areas are frozen.,This one was seen on the lake at Hulls East Park,
Larry and I dropped down to Wildwood to open up the house this weekend.
YAY! I'm back!
Of course I had to stop and check things out with Abby and John.
I was happy to see them both back at the nesting site.
Abby was busy bringing some new nesting material in this shot.
I shot this as practice for my upcoming wildlife photography trip. It's amazing how unsharp my pictures of Cormorants appear to me even when they're in focus.

This is a white-naped crane sitting on a nest which at the time was still work in progress. I took this photo at our zoo several weeks ago and as I have had no time for zoo visitis lately, I don't know if the nest looks better now. Hopefully I will be able to find that out in the near future.
Another installment in my nesting birds of Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge series.
From the Cornell Lab: "Killdeer nests are simple scrapes often placed on slight rises in their open habitats. Killdeer may make several scrapes not far away from each other before choosing one to lay in. The duplication may help to confuse predators.
Nest is a shallow depression scratched into the bare ground, typically 3-3.5 inches across.
Mono Lake is a critical nesting habitat hosting over 2,000,000 waterbirds, including 35 species of shorebirds, use Mono Lake to rest and eat for at least part of the year.
I thought this red-whiskered bulbul (pycnonotus jocosus) may be gathering nesting material - but looking at the size of the dead leaf I'm not so sure. Photographed in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
Lovely bird nesting on the ponds @ Keston woodland area in autumn..A familiar black bird of our lakes, ponds and rivers, the Coot is widespread; look out for its large and untidy-looking nest on the water in spring. The Coot can be distinguished from the similar Moorhen by its white beak and 'shield', and its entirely black body.
