Wired up (Ardea intermedia, Phalacrocorax varius)

The next day we headed to the Sandy Camp Road Wetlands again and, as before, stopped off at Lindum Park Wetlands, though a different part of it.

Negotiating a fence and steep bank (these long-legged guys have no consideration for little old ladies LOL).

Far more water here and at the top of a tree was an Intermediate Egret and a Pied Cormorant.

They were in front of the power lines, and sadly I saw a few birds round about which appeared to have fallen casualty to them.

A great capture of these contrasting birds Delia. Kudos for having overcome all those obstacles to get this shot! Seeing birds is all the more satisfying when you've had to work for it.

Beautiful capture of these two at Lindum Park. You took a wonderful shot and it is so sad, again and again, when birds become victims of human developments.
Great darts final tonight.
