G'day all
We're in the A.C.T. at the moment visiting family - and yesterday I went out to their local wetlands
I've been there many times over the years, but over the last decade it has been little more than a dried up swamp ... few birds and no lake or running waters - but now bursting with bird calls from the waters, the reeds and the trees surrounding the wetlands itself
Thinking I might get some pics similar to Isac's from last week or so, off I went ... to be disappointed. Distances between me and the birds at 50 metres or more, and even racking the lens out to its max of 720mm FF-Equiv was not enough. But I pressed the button anyway and cropped my pics from there
1) leave me alone ... i'm sleepy
2) stuck in the reeds
3) escape - beaudy mate
I don't know what the moorhen was up to ~ it was in the reeds and flapping around for ages before 'escaping' and getting back into the water
As always, feedback welcome
