Life in Newburgh on Ythan

By Talpa

Twa spluntin' deuks

After yesterday's close-up blip of a gull and 2 attendant dolphins DaveH thinks that I must have bought a shiny new 500 mm mega-lens.
Nothing could be further from the truth, the birds in Newburgh-on-Ythan are so tame that I photograph them with my ancient Yashica twin-lens reflex. This morning I managed to bag a brace of spluntin' (courting) deuks on the Tarty Burn.
The courting ducks are from Copenhagen and came to live with us almost 45 years ago.
I think that having cracked this larking about with bird photography, I will move on to new challenges tomorrow.
