Farlington Marshes (+ PiP)

On dirait qu'il fait froid chez toi.

Indeed, it is Jean-luc!

beautiful and intereesting landscape; well captured.

Many thanks Jaap...........glad you approve.

Great view over the wetlands, Keith!

Thank you kind sir!

Always good to see your walking country Keith. I too love a marsh walk and this looks a great place. Well done.

Enjoy the day and thanks for sharing with our UK Landscape Photography Group , Herb

Thank you so much Herb..........it was a great morning out, but very tiring. I'm sure you'd like it here as well.

Das sind ja grandiose Aufnahmen lieber Keith von diesen wunderschönen Naturgebiet und die große Zahl der Gänse ist ja echt faszinierend,solche schönen Aufnahmen schaut man sich immer gerne an :))

Wünsche noch einen schönen Nachmittag,ganz liebe Grüße Güni :))

Thank you Güni............it was a great morning out. Glad you like these two shots. Enjoy the rest of your day.

most beautiful, a lot of birds!

Thanks Annemarie..........but mainly geese and ducks. I did see a Kestrel, but it was too far away for a decent shot, although I tried. It was a pleasure to see it though.

A beautiful panorama of the marshes ! Like this wide view very much !

Thank you so much Ulrich...........much appreciated.

Bel endroit ou randonner en compagnie de ces oiseaux****

It is indeed Jean-louis...........it's a very popular place for bird watchers especially.

Two superb pictures Keith. I love the silhouetted people in your main shot. The blue of the water and the lighter shade of the sky looks really beautiful. You have some lovely places to visit near you. I had to look Farlington Marshes up, and I see that it has many walks and the land was actually reclaimed from the harbour in 1771.

Thank you Rosa..............your comments are very generous as always.

The marshes are a super place, very popular with walkers and especially bird watchers (and us photographers of course). It also has a resident herd of cattle including some highland coos ;-)

My mate (who I go with) is a volunteer warden, so I have a good guide too!

It has an interesting history, here's a shot I took there a while ago:

Fabulous photos. There were absolutely loads of geese etc there wasn't there? I'm glad you had decent weather when you went there.

Geese by the hundreds Jenny.............but not much else on this day...........it normally has a wide variety of birds, but they were all quite sensibly hiding somewhere warm ;-). Glad you like the photos, and thank you.

Beautiful place, even in winter.

Glad you think so Typo..............thanks for dropping in.

Loving seeing this and just found it on the OS map very interesting area. Good to see the Brent Geese

Thanks for your kind comment Colin. It's a very popular place with walkers and especially bird watchers.

It has some interesting history as well (during WWII).......check out the link in my reply to Rosa above.

The inset certainly shows that it is a bird's paradise! What a super spot to have in reach of your home.

It is indeed.........although everything except the geese seemed to be in hiding on the day I went there! Thanks for dropping by Eunice.

Magnifique et en plus, on voit le vent (Ce qui en principe est le propre des maîtres du dessin Japonais

Thanks for dropping by and commenting Jean Paul. I didn't see the wind, but I nearly lost my hat a few times!

Zwei sehr schöne Aufnahmen! Es muss für die Vögel das Paradies sein.
