Lucky Timing — Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge

·

Hi All 👋 My entry for Lisa’s Bird Weekly – Photo Challenge: Birds in Flight.

This first shot was lucky timing — I was playing with Lensy down at Lock 20 on the Forth & Clyde Canal & took the shot below. It wasn’t until I was editing that I saw I’d caught the 2 Mallards I’d just been talking to, in flight.

    Hi again, Jez, I love the gaggle of geese as well. That is a very cool pattern. With your permission I am also linking this post to John’s interview on my blog.

    Awesome flying birds this week, Jez. I love that you are using your lens ball. I still haven’t purchased one yet but I will get around to it eventually. LOL. I love the pattern of the flocks of geese or should I say gaggle! 🙂

        LOL! For some reason I think of my grandmother and her church friends from back in the day. 🙂

    Wow wow wow!
    I can’t imagine how you might be able to catch all of these …. unless you’re perpetually poised and ready?!!!
