Or maybe it's the Brandts variety?? Hmmm... Spent a little time at the nearby pond again today enjoying the wide variety of bird life. We don't usually see these birds here, however, and it was a treat to watch him from so close. I actually have a really cool shot of the wing span, but I liked the lighting on his face better on this one. Strange, but wonderful birds!
Huge thanks for all the kind and considerate comments from all of you. I know I have lots of catching up to do on my own commenting once again, but rest assured I am SO enjoying browsing all your images. Truly amazing stuff! :-)
They are fabulous looking birds aren't they! We have them here in Canberra, and I love watching them take off the edge of the lake. Great colour in this fellow's eye :)
