Cheddar Reservoir, Somerset, UK

20D + 400mm f/5.6

Time shifted forward in UK means I got to the Reservoir early, which allowed me to have a close encounter with this sleepy bird. Got to about 3m away.

Sleepy.






Waking up for a drink.






Still feeling sleepy??


A yawn should do the trick!!


or not...

Thanks!!   It was a beautiful day, though the weather forecaast was heavy rain, there was not a cloud to be seen...The Reservoir was very calm as there was no wind, so as you can see, the water was much less choppy than usual!! This was the first time I experience no wind in Cheddar Reservoir.
