Planespotting

 It was a gloomy day with grey skies

And I really wish I could find a place closer to the runway to take photos. 

This place is 4 kilometres away from where I'm standing!

The Airbus A380

Check out these photos of the Emirates A380 I took from 12 kilometres away,

From home

 

Heron

 If you look carefully you'll see a heron in the centre of this photo.

It is quite far way

Zoom in ...

 

 

Walked towards the heron to have a closer look  

And it was looking at something in the water

I focused on the heron

And the heron focused on ...

 

 

And the heron caught its prey!

And all i caught were these photos of the heron

😄

The heavy rain briefly stopped and two thirsty hummingbirds appeared

 

This is the second one 

Love how the hummingbird spills some nectar while in flight

 

 Check out all the birds that visit the backyard

 

I used the Canon 60D with a Sigma 150-600 lens  

Here are the settings for these photos:

TV - Shutter priority
Shutter speed 1/8000
AI Servo AF

AF Point Selection Automatic selection 

(this works better than manual for the hummingbird)
Evaluative Metering
Drive Mode - High Speed Continuous
ISO - Auto

Goldfinches and a Nuthatch

 Female goldfinch arguing with the male

A nuthatch has joined the party 

 

 

And now the nuthatch is arguing with the male goldfinch

Went for a walk to catch the sunset on the Credit River at Port Credit

 The evenings are getting cool

The Canada Geese are going home
