ANGLESEY

COMMON TERN
     

Anglesey is a wonderful place to visit for a variety of reasons, lovely scenery, clean beaches and of course, many species of birds. A favourite place is Cemlyn Bay on the western side of the island. When I took these pictures, I was sitting, overlooking one of the little bays where the terns constantly flew to from their breeding place on the lagoon behind me, to catch fish for their youngsters. I managed to capture one of the terns as he was flying back with his catch

OYSTER CATCHER

I always enjoy watching the Oyster Catchers and usually they will allow you to get quite close to them. On this day something "spooked" them and they were off. This is the shot I managed to take with the Canon 20d and image stabiliser lens. A very new experience, taking flight shots has not been possible when digi-scoping.

 

 

MERGANSER -On the other side of the bay the water was quite rough, four or five Merganser were bobbing up and down and I was able, with some difficulty to take a picture of one of them using the 20d
