Sunny Side Up

JDP & De Leyen 161

After the recent post displaying shovelers on a cloudy day, I only thought it was fair to add one of a shoveler with some sun and colour in this late burst of summer we have been experiencing the last couple of weeks. 😉


Heads Up

Earnewoude met Nikon 015

While I was cycling to the bird-hide I was secretly hoping to maybe shooting a shoveler image or two…as I entered the hide I was astonished to find I was surrounded by shovelers!

The trick is to get them when their heads are not submerged under the water as they shovel about in the mud… 😉
