White-faced Heron

Surprise, a blog name change!  It seemed appropriate, since Caroles Creative Corner, had slowly evolved into this, my passion.  That is, combining both a love of birds, with taking photos of them.  Along-with birds, there'll be a sprinkling of location and scenery shots some times too.

Yesterday, at Wyong, N.S.W., with tele-converter lens, hand-held.  Click on any photo to see the larger version ...

My bird reference book describes voice as a 'harsh, metallic croak'

  20. What a fantastic series, Carole!! I love White-faced Herons!
    I'm interested in your teleconverter as I'd love to get closer to birds but the Canon teleconverters only fit on the prime lenses (which I definitely can't afford).

thanks for visiting Snap Happy Birding, and for leaving a comment; I can still see them. Now both my blogs are resting in idle mode. It was time to give other things priority, even though I miss my regular blogging and the feedback that came my way over the years. Take care.
