Sometimes the light and mist makes all the difference…

An early morning scene with mist rising from the calm sunlit water and the fog blurring the background and silhouetted reeds in the foreground and a couple of birds swimming in the mid ground.

Thanks Alan 👍 I guess the kingfisher inclusion might have been subliminal! 😉

Another #Mallard image for today’s #BirdOfTheDay #green and #SideEye theme but also a ropey long range shot from Saturday morning that might be captioned ‘Be more Duck!’ 😉

A sideways on view of a mallard duck with it’s bright green head and neck slowly meandering about on dark green water.

A kingfisher on a perch and seemingly mimicking a duck below it. Doesn’t really have any relevance to the green theme but I captured this scene on Saturday morning and it’s long range, and a heavy crop so noisy too and I just looked for an excuse to include it! 😉

Thanks Geraldine 👍 I think the softish light helped with that and is what caught my eye.

Thanks Rob 👍 turns out I’ve still got quite a lot of images to process (as well as delete) from that trip so might have to wait until a similar theme and post some more.

Been slowly going through & culling files from my LR catalogue including a mostly untouched folder from the Algarve in 2023. So inspired by the #colouful theme for today’s #BirdOfTheDay a quick edit of this European Roller…

Thanks Alan 👍 and sorry I’ve read that it’s your ‘bogey bird’ but it’ll be worth all the perseverance when it happens! 🙂

I suspect there will be a few #kingfisher posts today given the theme is #colouful so here’s a post of a colourful kingy on a post 😉

@dylannardini.com @sophiecarr.bsky.social I tested on iPad and iPhone and browser and app. The posts I could see don’t show up via search are the following 3
