Last week Friday I hiked a short section of the Floris V Pad (read that blog here), while I was busy hiking the Hubby found he had parked next to a Nature Sanctuary filled with all sorts of birds. This is a photographic selection of his adventure.
First, I think this was the most entertaining of his adventure.
He was asked several times by actual birders if he was finding anything special. I had to laugh, he is only an amateur, as he told them he was only capturing normal or common birds.
Here are some of those “common birds”.








That adventure file is now empty. We are off on another adventure today. Product testing a new Kelty tent overnight at a local campground.
Until next time, travel safe and be adventurous.

Tell hubby “nice shots” and the wader you are correct is a Redshank.

WHAAAATT! I end up in places with bad connectivity and you pull out the bird post?! Pleasant surprise when I got back on line and saw shot after shot of those feathered friends. Fabulous shots – don’t let the hubby sell himself short on the photography front (just watch those feet ha). What did that pheasant do to draw that much attention? Recognize most of those birds, but for sure, that Fuut shot is quite stunning. Maybe I need to go offline more often and I’ll get more bird posts hehehe.

Haha. Glad you enjoyed it. Honestly I think the Hubby is a secret birder at heart.
The birds were attacking the pheasant (we think) because he was to close to their nest.
We went camping overnight this last week and he didn’t bring his camera and I didn’t hear the end of it all night.
Hopefully you are so busy getting birds in the tin that missing a few of our posts isn’t that upsetting.😂 safe travels and I will pass on the compliments to the Hubby.

Definitely having a GREAT time on our exploration part deux! Long days leading to tired nights – carrying a 12 pound camera around for 10+ hours a day can wear you down. So far at least +13 so there should be plenty of new posts coming when we finally make it back home.

Some nice birds even if they are just common ones. Can’t believe I’m 3months behind on all your blogs. Too busy painting and lack of internet

Hahahaha. I totally understand being behind. Thought you dropped off the grid altogether. I was talking about your trek through Spain today with someone. Then I open this up and you are there. The universe works in strange ways.😊

Haven’t dropped off the grid just switched sites to my art page. Funny thing is I’ve been painting landscapes from my 2018 Spanish Camino since I can’t walk it. I’ll make a special effort to write a blog for you tonight or tomorrow.
Good to see you’ve been busy clocking up km in your boots, bikes and kayak while I’ve been hibernating
