Wonderful series. I know the frustration of birds that fly away. Therefore I mostly photograph other subjects. That gull on the roof of your car is funny. I hope he left your car without leaving "a present" to thank you. Great series. Poor Skunk.

Sorry that you had the frustration of failing to get an image of the Fox Sparrows.

Very smart birds, worldwide obviously!<br /><br />I love the random moments of excitement that birding can offer, such as a flock of Mergansers turning up in a shopping centre lake. Your autumn tree colour photographs are just wonderful too - something I was fortunate to experience for real during my short sting in Toronto, along with Ring-billed Gulls and Dark-eyed Juncos!Christian Perrinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06835955663432829705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-54965050499960375272014-10-24T05:52:40.268-04:002014-10-24T05:52:40.268-04:00Your autumn colour looks great.

How wonderful to see 10 Hooded Mergansers at once, even if they weren't in breeding plumage. <br /><br />I was sorry to hear about the shooting and attack on your Parliament.

Yes, I wish Gonzalo had arrived from a different direction i.e. from the south west to blow things up the Irish Sea and arrive on the Lancashire coast but NW winds rareley bring goodies like Ring-billed Gulls or juncos, even less Hooded Mergansers - I wish. <br /><br />Your right about crows on the road. I cant recall ever seeing a squashed crow, just gulls which perhaps are too slow off the mark.

Don't tell me how frustrating it ...Hello David!<br />Don't tell me how frustrating it is when the "target" disappears as you try to focus with your camera!! As you say, it is part of a photographer's life!<br />Anyhow, you managed to show us great subjects and fun photos (gull on your car's roof!). The only drawback being this poor skunk ending up as a rad kill :(<br />We have come back from 4 days at Le Teich. Contrary to the high number of birds reported in september, it was very quiet but we managed some great shots of the very species we saw. Naturally, we we thinking of you all along :)) The tides were too low, next time we will aim at higher tides!<br />Much love to you and Miriam, I hope you are both in great shape!!<br />I shot my back in the hides :( Aggghhh!!!!Noushkahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11583459949373167021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1519151644964316600.post-48233880171953467802014-10-23T03:37:09.606-04:002014-10-23T03:37:09.606-04:00Buena entrada, amigo David.
