I made it down to the beach again today and found a few obliging subjects though it it still a little quiet compared to the summer months. The Osprey are busy with their juvs and are not venturing to the south side of the river with them , but it will only be 3-4 weeks and I should be able to watch the feeding runs again as I did last year. Can't wait!

Beautiful shots Birdie, Love the Kingfisher.
Your photos are beautiful. They make me feel like going to the beach. My favourites are the flight photo and the first one of the kingfisher - great colours
Thank you guys, the Kingfishers were the highlight...they shone like jewels in the sun.

All beautiful photos, birdie, the Egret taking off and the Kingfishers, especially the first one with those beautiful iridescent blue feathers, are standouts for me.
We had a Kingfisher sitting on our back gate two days in a row this week too far away for me to get a good shot, but I was thrilled to see it there.

Thanks Jeanne and Qyn...the funny thing was that I had spent ages taking pics of the tree with the water in the background (no birds) as I thought it looked nice, then went looking for the Kingfisher over the other side by the beach ...to no avail. On the way home I walked past the same tree and there they were....two of them ! Shining in the sun so brightly they looked amazing .... birding photography certainly has a good deal of luck involved that is for sure.....right time, right place and camera ready.
