Standing on ice.
Photographed at the Stone Works, Cannon Ponds, Forest Of Dean.
Please look at my website bobswildlife.co.uk. There is a photo of a Japanese Sika Deer, and the first of the Waxwing by John Truman and by Richard Pegler. And a photo of the Fallow Deer in the 'Guest Photos '.
the red and yellow among the otherwise common-looking plumage is such a contradiction. I love to listen to them. They're hilarious.
ReplyDeleteFine, sensitive portraiture as usual. Reggae!? Yah Mon!
ReplyDeleteThey are very under-rated little birds, shown beautifully here
ReplyDeleteIncredibly beautiful images. I once saw this bird. Have a nice evening
ReplyDeleteLovely job with the camera Bob.
ReplyDeleteLovely job with the camera Bob.
ReplyDeleteNice bird
ReplyDeleteMy wife says I've been skating on thin ice for years!
ReplyDeleteHa ha, she's right, cheers David.
DeleteLovely looks standing on the ice, but maybe her cold feet. Regards.
ReplyDeleteHello, Bob! I always enjoy your bird photos. Awesome shots of the Moorhen! My feet would be cold standing on ice. Have a happy day!
ReplyDelete...and aren't they pretty? I do love their feet too.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Bob.
Wow--that is a brilliant image! Bob, you have sunshine--and we have rain, but it's okay because I can always look at your fantastic images--the colours and detail inspire.
ReplyDeleteHI. That Moorhen is so beautiful. Awesome photos.
ReplyDeleteHello. Really great photos. Moorhen is a gorgeous bird.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are amazing! These birds are unusual looking, but beautiful. Her (or his) beak looks like a piece of candy corn.
ReplyDeleteHola Bob,magnificas fotos de esta Polla de agua con una luz de lujo.Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteHI Bob, super images of a very under-rated bird, very colourful with a beautiful eye. All the best, Regards John
ReplyDeleteThanks John, the Moorhen was stuck, I'm joking.
DeleteGlad it wasn't, you must have been cold enough without having to go in and rescue it. John
DeleteYes John, I am pleased.
DeleteYour moorhen look different to ours, which have a purple sheen.
ReplyDeleteA lovely bird - on both sides of teh world.
Oh so pretty - lovely photos Bob :D)
ReplyDeleteBravo pour la lumière ;-)
ReplyDeleteCéline & Philippe

ReplyDeleteLove the colour of its beak.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo's Bob

I enjoyed these pictures very much. I wonder if they sound like our coots--- they resemble them.
ReplyDeleteNo, they sound so different Bill.
Deleteperfekte bilder Bob !
ReplyDeleteWOW! How do they not freeze on it!
ReplyDeleteBrrrrr, you must have been so cold while out photographing! :-)
Yes Yael, it was kind of cold, but, nice all the same.
DeleteLovely and obviously well insulated for the weather.
ReplyDeletehi bob, another great series of bird photos! thank you for inspiring me with your exquisite photography!
ReplyDeletehave a wonderful day. x
Hello Bob!:) I hope you enjoyed your Christmas, and had a very Happy New Year. All my best wishes for a fabulous 2017. I'm not blogging in full swing as yet, but visiting everyone who took the time to leave their good wishes on my blog before Christmas. Great captures of the Moorhen Bob,...a striking water bird, with a colourful bill, which really stands out against it's dark plumage. Their sturdy legs and feet must be well equipt to deal with icy conditions,... but rather them than I!:)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots! I've missed visiting most of my friends over the move. Hope you are doing well!
ReplyDeleteBob, this is wonderful, very beautiful you photographed.
ReplyDeleteHi Bob. Your Moorhen images are delightful. I can't help it but I find myself laughing inside whenever I see a Moorhen's feet - they are so comical. I hope this doesn't make me a bad person!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes - - Richard
