Telear-N : 4 birds and a flower

[sichko]

I went to one of the local parks yesterday. It has a small (large for a city centre) resevoir. It used to house a nice collection of ducks - pochard, goldeneye, teal, tufted duck, shoveller... They seem to have disappeared.

There were lots of mallard - presumably wild...



.... and lots of black-headed gulls - we are on the coast.




There is a pair of Whooper Swans. I think that their wings must have been clipped. Here's one of them ...



I had great difficulty in focussing. I still find the Telear a little heavy and awkward. And the birds were moving - slowly, but moving nonetheless.
In the end I resorted to flowers - the last of the honeysuckle.

Very nice place I love to be there, I like Telear pretty much, I guess you made very good samples with this lens.
