Birds Times Deux

So I went for my second bike ride in over 10 years today. Last time I did 1.5miles. Today I doubled that and felt like I was going to die :-) No pain no gain though so all good!

During my bike ride I came across these two birds in the local creek. I've tried a few times before to get a shot of the Eegrit (not sure if that is what it is so am happy to stand corrected) but have never been able to get close enough. However, being on the bike he seemed to accept me being there...a bit like when you go on safari on an elephant?? Anyway, I managed to get my camera out and got a clear shot of him so all in all a very good and productive hour even if I know I'll ache somewhat in the morning :-)
