The cormorants are so fast and fly so low that I usually have a hard time getting a decent shot of them. Here is one just after take-off.

Nice capture. They can be quite tricky

Stunning capture! Colors are gorgeous! I am amazed at the variety of hummers.

Welcome to the forum

Hello,

This is my first time here.

I`m live in Brazil.

I shot some hummingbirds, and I hope you like.

I think that these are Least Sandpipers. They came flying by and I just had time for a short burst. This is the only ok-ish shot that I got.View attachment 5869

I'm originally from just across the water in S Wales, but have been in Australia for 46 years.

That's OK Neil. We claim a lot of non-Australians as our own. Russell Crowe, Keith Urban, Naomi Watts and tons more. So what are you famous for?

Hi Peter! Famous for?? - You mean besides the wit, gay abandon, and sparkling repartee? I am a "dinky die Aussi" and have the certificate to prove it! We'll have to meet up when they let you lot out of Melbourne. It is an amazing thing that you have done. Locking down a city of almost 4 million people and getting daily cases down to 5. The rest of US AUSTRALIANS are very proud of you.

I could add to that, but politics is banned in this forum. Would be happy to meet up. Look forward to it.

We're in the phone book, so give me a call after things open up. The migratory waders will be in the Western Treatment Plant (Ramsar site for other viewers). That is half way between us.

 

[Oztours]

Will do. The way I feel now, I would almost be happy to break the lockdown rules. Aaaarrrgghhh

Hi Venkatesh, hope I do not offend. The Goose is much better than a Grey lag certainly for us in Britain, it's a Bar-headed Goose and well taken
