Although the scenery was beautiful the only birds I had seen were one flying past which I could not identify
and a whole tree full of Little Egrets in the distance.
Of course, there was always my Stumpy-tailed Blue Healer - Misty - to try and coax into a photo!
Then just as I was close to the car park this beautiful little bird flew down not far ahead of me. My hand was shaking - I forgot to change the camera settings to compensate for the low light - and the resulting photos are not as sharp as I could wish! But - an Eastern Yellow Robin is always beautiful!
the robin is adorable! so is misty. :) loved the silvery reflections!
ReplyDeleteLove the reflection scenes, and of course Misty!! Boom, Bobbi and Gary.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk you had!! Thank you for sharing the beauty, Mick!! I, too, love Misty and the robin!! We never know how much there is to see if we don't get out -- I've finally learned that!! Have a great week!!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Mick, the eastern blue robin is pretty and so is Misty.
ReplyDeleteWow -- what a gorgeous walk!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful morning walk with you dog. Though we don't get them here, I love the Eastern Robins.
ReplyDeleteUsed to enjoy them in the Victorian high country.
Thats the kind of "nothing" I could get used to!

That early morning light is just beautiful and always the best for photography. Well worth leaving your bed early, especially with the Eastern Robin bonus.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos of the clouds, and those birds are an amazing color.
ReplyDeleteLovely views from your early am stroll and definitely more inspiring than my damp woodland walk today.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a great walk and the robin is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteGlorious water and sky shots Mick! What a sweet little robin, such lovely colours. I know what you mean about shaking with excitement, I was all shakes last week when I spotted and photographed my first orioles. Misty is a sweetie!
ReplyDeleteLovely waterscapes and sky captures.. And the little Yellow Robin is adorable.. Great shots!
ReplyDeleteDelightful Mick. Love those early morning shots... Misty is a great subject too, not forgetting to mention that sweet Robin :D)
ReplyDeleteThe yellow robin is darling (and a new -- even virtually-- bird for me). Your water pictures are so restful and lovely -- If I were you I would never think I didn't have anything to post. Misty looks a little peeved that you made her stop walking and turn around for a picture op!
ReplyDeleteI love your moody scenic shot adn that was a great bonus seeing the Robin, a beautiful little bird.
ReplyDeleteThose northern yellow robins always seem to have a lot more yellow than our's down here! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteIsn't that the way it always happens. The best shot opportunities come along when you're not ready. The Yellow Robin is a beautiful little bird.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful scenic shots here and I love seeing your dog, Misty.
Great ending to a morning walk!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful little bird,
ReplyDeleteWonderful scenery! Love the clouds and your furry buddy! The bird is just gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteYou've got the best patch to bird. Your pooch is great.....looks like you're protected:) Congrats on the robin. The camera stuff happens to me as well. Sometimes I mess around with the settings too much that I lose observation time on the bird. What's a birder to do?:)
ReplyDeleteI'm sure glad you went for that early morning walk. Stunning scenery, Mick! I felt like I was there, breathing in the salty air and feeling the breeze on my face. Superb photos of the Yellow Robin. Thanks for sharing it all!
ReplyDeleteAn Eastern Yellow Robin is a new one for me. I've never even seen a photo before of one. Your photographs are gorgeous! What an amazingly beautiful place!
