Two beautiful birds, but shy and noisy. I do not know if they nest her or just feed before going further north.

Thank you Fons.
From your link, I can see that the bird should not be here at all, but that cannot be entirely correct. I have seen them for several years, both in great numbers ?plowing? north and as this couple. As everything else today, it may have something to do with the global warming.

Thank you Shelley for your comment.
I am trying to get a grip on telephoto which is not an easy task, especially if you don?t have a tripod at hand. This was one of my more lucky shots.

I regret that I did not bring my tripod. Then the photo may have been sharper.
