Since retiring in 2023 I have been getting back into wildlife photography. More recently water birds. Connaught Water is lake in Epping Forest near Chingford, inhabited by Joggers, Dog Walkers. people out to enjoy the air and Birds.
I wanted to get coots fighting shots but they are seemingly more pacifist these days, but some success also working on birds in flight.
Almost dance like
Not messing about with those feet
Kicking up the spray
Wins by a length
On the eggs
Cute, not sure?
Canada Geese in flight
OK the end of the Canada Geese
Long distance shot to nesting Heron chicks
This nest was close ish about 20 years away chick fluff just visible
Under mums beady eye. far off nest
Love the scraggy neck on view
Feeding time
Punk is not dead
make it look so easy
Effortless
Lovely light
It was that big
Coming in to land
Working on flight shots
Their colours are amazing
Same place every day, was about my fifth visit before I saw it move
Visit 12 it moved again
So I took full advantage
Greylag in flight
Family Outing
Chases off visitors. only swan on the lake, got to Eagle Ponds and there are dozens
