Friday 13th September - unlucky for some - and so it proved to be as a friend and I went to get better images of the Canvasback at Abberton Reservoir but did not see it. Still there were other fish to fry, so to speak.

First was a resting Common Tern, busily preening in the early morning sun.

There were quite few Canada Geese and the odd one decided to give a flypast.

I was surprised at the number of Egyptian Geese, once considered to be an exotic species but surely not now with the numbers here.

In the far corner, a Grey Heron was fishing, taking no notice of me what-so-ever, allowing a really close approach.

Into the afternoon and the sun was  making life much easier, highlighting the dark background to show of the Great White Egrets

and also allowing fast shutter speeds to capture birds in flight.

so while the Canvasback was a disappointment, I managed to get  photos that I was happy with.
