Snapshots from a day out in the sun. We went out with friends to Derwentwater for a walk when a duck brought her 11 ducklings along. I seldom photograph anything that moves faster than a mountain so was totally unprepared for the speed that ducklings move at, especially when they are running between your legs. I managed these 3 that make up in cuteness what they lack in sharpness. Next time it will be 1/500s minimum. Ken

I'm not a bird photographer.....mostly just backyard visitors. And they're rarely colorful like Eric's or the others I see here (even the bee :) ).

This is an action shot I was lucky to get once. I think it's a female black-chinned. We do have many hummingbirds every summer.

You might have to revise your non-bird photographer status... This is a remarkable shot and not easy to get.

I'm sticking with Eric's theme of 'black' in the name.

The expression on the blackbird in the first image looks like something that should be an internet meme for an angry bird :)
