Default Fly, fly away .....

Whilst out and about yesterday I drove past a wildlife area in Pauatahanui, Paremata Inlet, Wellington and decided to try my luck with birds again. I think I am getting better at it - as the say practice, practice, practice. These are 4 of the 12 shots taken. Enjoy !!!!

Well you have certainly practiced Bernz and it has paid off so well, all of them are so well in focus. The first one has to be my favourite, nice and close and a lovely position of the bird. Great work Bernz.
