It has been an incredibly busy the last weeks with the day job and evening schedule so not much time to post any thing lately but this weekend a few moments in-between the chores.

This a common fly by that many of us see. I am quite happy with this capture from Churchill earlier this year.

Looks like a Gadwall to me. I think cropping off the blue strip along the bottom would strengthen the composition. Very nice as is though too. :)

Nice capture well placed in the frame and I don't mind the water at the bottom.

Nice shot, I like the compositon as presented. Gives the image a sense of place.
