Slowlycatchymonkey Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 This little ducks plumage was superb, the pictures in no way do the beautiful blue and green metallics flashing away in the sunshine any justice. It was in excellent condition This one stood bolt upright for sometime plotting revenge on two boy racers who’s very noisy exhaust ruffled it’s feathers. Try as I might I just couldn’t get a good pic of this duck but it’s was sweet and had nice markings so I’m including it anyway. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowlycatchymonkey Posted May 3, 2021 Share Posted May 3, 2021 Lastly a couple of attempts at from the cockpit pic which failed so spectacularly it was abandoned (phone refused to focus off the gauges) so I got off the bike to take them. Wish Id cleaned my drop down sun visor before riding into this sunset, it was that fierce low sun, the sort that requires a retinal check up after facing The undulating fields at Ubley always tickle me, they look like the sort of place Hobbits should live. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A magic window appears on a Sunday after 6/7pm when everyone just goes home. The roads are lovely and empty and it’s easy to get close to things you want to see. I apologise for the quality of these pics, its finally tipped me over into wanting to get a reasonable camera and learning what all that iso, f’s, aperture shutter speed stuff does cos with a decent camera and/or skill some of these would have been so much better. This swan seem to be putting on a show It's sooooooooooooooo calming there until some scruffy gits turn up for an ice cream and ruin the ambience 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
