On a beautiful sunny morning I went for a walk with my eldest son to Anton Lakes. My son has recently purchased a super-duper long lens and was wanting to try it out by pointing it at some birds.
I felt quite inferior with my much smaller lens but am quite pleased with some of the results I got.

| This robin sat and posed for me beautifully |
 |
| Cormorants sat on the highest branches |
 |
| A hybrid, mostly mallard but think he might have a bit of shoveller duck in him |
 |
| Mallard (see the difference to the one above) |
 |
| One of the many mute swans that frequent the lake |
 |
| A goosander (managed to get better photos than the ones I took the other day) |
 |
| And again, you can see his colours better on this one |
 |
| So elegant, I love it when swans glide through the water like this |
 |
| I love the water glistening on this swan's neck and beak |
 |
| Another mallard - what a stunning colour they are when the sun shines on them! |
 |
| And last but not least a beautiful tufted duck |
Let's hope this sunny weather continues. It makes so much difference when taking photos and we have had more than enough grey murky days recently.
