I quite like the photo with the heron and goose. My inner 12 year old really wants to make a bunch of juvenile jokes about wet beaver, fortunately I'm too mature to pass them on. > On Mar 31, 2024, at 1:54 PM, John Sessoms wrote: > > So I finally got out of the house to make some photographs.

PESO: Woodpecker

2024-03-31 Thread John Sessoms
So I finally got out of the house to make some photographs. I made good use of the bag for the 600/4 I received as a gift from someone here on the list. It works a treat. Went down to Shelley Lake in Raleigh to photograph the eagles' nest. While I was down there waiting for something to

Interesting. The African sub-species has black legs all the year round. The yellow bill darkens partly during the breeding season. We have another slightly smaller one here (the Yellowbilled Egret - still much bigger than the Little Egret) which is more like the one you describe. I'll  be

Henk's missive did not appear in my inbox, which is, of course, the source of Great Egret for me. Otherwise I have to go to Somerset, at the other end of England, unless I would be happy with occasional Little Egrets. Generally, though, I have no Egrets at all. > On 31/03/2024 05:27 BST Alan

Excellent shot, Henk. Interesting to hear about the Great Egrets. Must be getting warmer there? Here is a recent shot of a local one (heavy crop). Not all that common. K5 & HD 55-300 @ 300. https://www.flickr.com/photos/wisselstroom/53622138608/ Alan C On 30-Mar-24 09:03 PM, Henk Terhell
