Cape Cornwall Gannets

The Gannet, is one of my favourite sea birds, so on Saturday while the wife had her hair done I spent a couple of hours at Cape Cornwall photographing this species. I reduced the aperture to f8 or there about to give some depth of field as I feel that, when photographing this species the sea should be in focus. If you think I am wrong please tell me.

Waders

The photo's below were taken on the same day as the previous photographs of the swans at Marazion. They are Sanderling and Dunlin well into their breeding plumage. They amazed me how close they allowed me to them, although they were avidly feeding. I got annoyed with the so called dog lovers allowing their dogs (and encouraging them) to chase the birds and spoil their feeding routine.

I can Fly

A trip down to Marazion Reserve brought home these little heart warmers, Mute Swan chicks not long out of the nest.

You will notice that I have put a moderator on the comments,this is because someone has started to post adverts on my comments page and I don't really want this. I do appreciate the genuine like minded people commenting and I thank them for that.
