These birds are painted homing pigeons, which are painted different colours by the owners so that they can identify them in flight. This is a local tradition in Spain and the owners assure me that the paint does the birds no harm!

This particular photograph was a bit of a fluke really as my wife and I were on the local mountainside (more of a large hill really!) when the birds flew overhead. They looked so pretty in flight. I think they look beautiful with the sea in the background.

Cayuga Lake in Winter
Cayuga Lake is the longest of central New York's glacial Finger Lakes. The city of Ithaca's Stewart Park is located at the southern end. Every winter this end of the lake freezes and becomes the stomping ground for Canada geese, gulls and mallard ducks. This poster features the expanded icy shore with ducks, gulls and geese, the lovely blue green water, and the colorful houses along the shoreline at the foot of the eastern hills along the lake.

This is one of my favourite pictures I have of a greylag goose. I just love the pose as he runs across the water. Actually he was protecting his mate and was rushing off here and there being the proud partner and seeing off the competition.
