Attenborough Nature Reserve 25/05/2014

[The Heff]

I've been a little inactive photography wise so I decided to venture out to Attenborough Nature Reserve in Nottingham today. I was a little late for most of the smaller birds who were hiding in the trees and bushes, but I did get to see plenty of the waterfowl.

It was also a chance to test my new camera, the Canon EOS 5D Mark III. I am extremely pleased with it.

Good set of images. Strange that goslings grow into quite unattractive adults! Even Canada Geese have cute babies!
