Tarryholme pond – Irvine

Published by garnockfocus under Irvine, tarryholme pond

Noticed the pond was busy when heading home on the by-pass, dropped by for 30 minutes. Very lively with Tufted duck.

Plenty of turf wars in the pond from the Coots.

The Mallard were also having a few disputes.

Grey Heron, river Garnock, Kilwinning

Published by garnockfocus under Kilwinning, River Garnock

A very cloudy morning but a chance to test the optical zoom (or Digital Tele-Converter as Canon call it) on the Canon A640.

Image 2 & 3 have 1.4x optical zoom and image 4 has 2.3x, it seems to work reasonably well although its hard to get a good test with poor light!

This Grey Heron is feeding at Dirrens dam.
