Weekend Birds

Ok, my nightmare is over, lens is fixed and i've finally gotten out with it to check it all out, seems good.

I decided to take a break from internet forums for a while as i was (still am) busy re-doing one of our bathrooms top to bottom, as well i discovered facebook and no sooner had i joined than my life started to crumble apart at the seams because of it   (long story...)
the break has been good though, i feel like a kid again and know i have two months to make up for shooting-wise

anyways...
Decided to head out to Iona first morning back, i was almost nervous about shooting again it's been so long
I was surprised by the amount of fog when we arrived at Iona but i was determined to shoot something.

Here is something to post here finally, been a while, like i said, it was really foggy, almost white-out conditions, but i can't resist a grebe at close range

 

 

Well, after my first day back on Saturday in the fog didn't quite satisfy me shooting-wise, i decided to stay closer to home on Sunday.
I have only been back to Maplewood once since the accident (which occured there) and i went back to the spot where the lens fell over and re-claimed the area again .
Typical Maplewood winter morning, the Golden-crowned kinglets were the highlights as far as birds go.

Later, i headed over to Ambleside, i wanted to shoot some goldeneyes
