A bit of a slow audience!


Change in location ...






Speed boat watching.

Spot a Little Pied Cormorant almost every water area I visit! The top one is on a fresh water lake, the bottom a salt water lagoon. Ho hum, both at a great distance again. Has anyone seen my new slideshow in the sidebar?

Very lovely set of photographs especially with the spectators. These are classic. Love the rotting posts, not mine, the ones in the photos. Haha!

Thankyou Ces :) Most of the turtles look like they are pointed in the right direction! We'll be seeing the Little Pied a lot closer later on. Those posts would probably fall over if we tried to perch on them ;)

Look to your right, Space Unit 4+2! Not in your 'Interesting Room' but in regards to where you are here - TwitLand ;)

Melissa said...

Oh these are great! It really looks like the cormorant is all, "Ahem! I'm gonna sing a soooooong!" and all the turtles are so politely listening. Your photos make my day!

I looked to the right and saw my cupboards, but your slide-show is'nt here.

AWWWW thanks Melissa :) I love the theatrics of Cormorants!

Not TwitLand where Space Unit 4+2 hangs out or his cupboard! Look for the Links List right here and now and you'll find a slideshow under that! Twit ...

I can see it now here in my cupboards, it's very nice.

Thankyou Space Unit 4+2 :) I apologise for being cranky, I didn't know you lived in the cupboards here and now.

Anon-there's a bird story on Poidogz today. The Parrot is going to live on the Scotty Blog, but today it was really a dog story...

That's a cool slide-show, it takes a long time to watch, lots of pictures, all beautiful! I like the pelicans and the penquins best.

Ohhhh, I'll visit very soon Debra Kay :)

Thankyou for taking the time to look at the slideshow Red Mojo. I just looked for the first time myself - it DOES take time! Haahaa

Classic Cormorant images KJ, they could have been taken almost anywhere in the world - where there are turtles :) Are there turtles in Provincetown?

Thanks Simon!

Lively looking bird.

I had a dream last night about a red bird of prey... unfortunately the photo I took wasn't on my camera this morning...

Hhehhee, you won't find a red bird of prey here Caroline, in fact can't think of a red one! Have you looked under the bed?

Hello Shelley and welcome :) He's a fine model for the camera!

I'll take your word for it Baino! Hhehheheee
