Late October 2018, the first of three autumn visits to RSPB Conwy.
A nicely fed Little Egret
A very hungry Grey Heron
The hungry Grey Heron wasn't getting any food, so a dash to the far side of the lagoon
Proved beneficial, though I'd doubt profitable, judging by the size of its catch.
A pair of Little Egrets on the hunt for food....
There are more photos to follow another day.
Well done Mike, lovely photos and you have put up the first full sized photos I have been able to see since the Forum went bottoms up:-)
Wonderful pics Mike, thanks for persevering!
Thank you Gaynor.
To get the desired photo size, when you go to the Insert box, and select "Insert Image/Video File", once you open that up to select the image to upload, look towards the bottom of that box and you will see the word "Dimension" and two boxes.
If you know the image size/dimensions/Pixels, change those numbers to match.
If you're not sure, and using standard DSLR (3:2) frame size, then change the boxes to 1024 and 683 respectively. That should then generate a decent image size to view.
For those using more modern picture sizing, particularly most mobile devices (16:9), use 1024 and 576 respectively.
Thank you Wendy.
I'm not one for giving in, and I'm a bit of a bad loser. Almost four years ago after major leg reconstruction, it was deemed I'd not walk in any way whatsoever. Grit determination, a lot of tantrums along the way and a lot of support from the hospital, and I'm hobbling along, albeit with the aid of crutches.
The last time I used my wheelchair was well over a year ago.
Lovely photos, Mike, thanks for posting. And well done you on the walking. Best wishes for continuing improvement.
Thank you.
A few more photos from my visits to RSPB Conwy
Blue skies, small fluffy clouds, a brilliant day, but twas a bit nippy....
The same scene, but as monochrome
My guess, godwit
Carneddau Ponies that roam part of the reserve.
And what better place to see the Carneddau Ponies than right outside the Carneddau Hide!
There was a bit of a debate on his one, but my guess, Goosander, not Merganser
A shy robin, wanted to be friends, but wasn't sure.
Then it spotted the seed pot I had
Reluctant to eat from my hand, but was happy to come close and feed from a stone wall.
Perhaps next time....
Very nice Mike, and I would say its a Goosander too.
Thanks James.
Great selection of pics again Mike, Robin is a huge delight ... Hope your leg continues to improve ... does the cold weather affect it badly?
