Wanting to get some close up shots i carefully tried to get nearer,unfortunately one duck was acting sentry and honked with every closing step i made . At the same time two wedge tailed eagles appeared from a nearby hilltop , nearly dropping my camera with excitment i tried to get some pics but by the time i had the settings right {had troubles getting the focus right with the auto function}they had made some distance from my position, this is one pic anywhy .......
After the eagles had vanished into a other valley and seeing that the ducks didnt make any movement with two raptors in the vicinty i thought one lone human may be able to get closer......
Never mind , heres some landscape shots anywhy {the last time i was here {before Xmas} the bridge was submerged, this is a tributary to a dam that supplies the wa goldfields}
Some nice shots there beren - I like the eagle and the ducks taking off particularly. Any shots of my neck of the woods would be pretty much coverred in snow at the moment - not nice. Good to see some blue skies and warm weather.
Thanks Andy.....interesting extremes in climate ,would have liked a little patch of snow to cool off while walking wish i could have got better pics of the eagles ,just magnificent to see them in the wild {couldnt belive the no reaction from the {sitting} ducks , thought i was in for some real wildlife action}
