...a grab shot with the birds moving away from me. I was preparing dinner and the birds appeared a way off the cottage window, I had the 70-300mm on with the extender and managed this crop from the 2 or 3 shots I managed.
Not the best quality photograph I've ever taken sadly.
Especially for Mr Woolybill.

This is delightful. The babies exploring the big wide world, the parents keeping a watchful eye. With that camouflage the kids could disappear in a trice and have Mum chasing round frantically all day...
Himself will be back on the site later...

Sounds almost like a snatch shot the way you describe things, Dougie, but very well handled and a fine moment recorded. Shows you should have a camera at the ready all the time just in case.
Ronnie.
(PS. re. your query today........getting down, nae bother.......getting back up, well if you'd been there you might have got yet another snatch candid of interest.......R).
I can imagine Ronnie, I often look one my shoulder before attempting the upright position.
Thank you Mr Scottishlandscapes. Geeses is more appealing to me than ponies, especially when young. Later on they are tastier, too
Regards

Looks like they were on a family excursion. Lovely shot, I like how they fit into the landscape, they are well camouflaged.

Didn't expect a comment Bill, these wee critters walked about a half mile to the loch, never saw them again. 
he is still on guard with his family ... a good and interesting capture
Ann & Fraser you should both go and wash your mouths out with soap....
I'm shocked, never thought of it either.
Quote: I can imagine Ronnie, I often look one my shoulder before attempting the upright position.
with two new knees nearly 5 years ago I have huge difficulty getting down, the knees dont bend! I almost throw myself on the ground its a sight you wouldnt wish to experience and getting up is almost a no no and sometimes I think without my hubs I might have to stay put all night
but we live to tell the tale
Who can resist young goslings or any other youngster of wildlife for that matter, cute shot Dougie and taken with great talent IMO
A rather special grab shot indeed Dougie. Dad is perfectly in focus and keeping a close eye on the young 'uns.
Derek
An image to soften tbe hArdest of hearts. Well seen and taken Dougie!
