Coo! Look at all that mud! HFF!

Coo!  Look at all that mud!  HFF!
This pair of pigeons were seen at Watchet Harbour when we taking an evening stroll. I thought the markings were unusual, - the one on the left looks as if it is wearing an ermine robe! Must be pigeon royalty!!

Below is a view of the harbour

HFF and have a good weekend everyone

Yes very unusual markings Carol. I see what you mean with the ermine! One very important pigeon ;-)) You have captured them from an excellent perspective and it's a good clear picture. HFF and I hope you have a good and safe weekend.

These low tide pictures are so intriguing for me, Carol. I have never seen this phenomenon so pronounced as to periodically turn a harbour into a mudflat! Also love your diagonal composition and the two characters with the unusual liveries.

HFF!

Ecobird club has replied to Annalia S.
This particular coastline has the second highest tidal range in the world and can be up to 15 metres.

Mor often than not when we visit the harbour there is little or no water in it.

Hi Carol
I like this picture !
The one on the right is certainly eyeing up the mud..
In big towns the feral pigeons come in all sorts of colours, so I suppose, here the same!
Maybe in pigeon society those with the ermine robes are seen as superior!
Best Wishes, HFF, a nice weekend, and stay safe!!

Ecobird club has replied to Peter_Private_Box club
Thank you very much Peter. Where we lived previously we had lots of pigeons that we used to feed and even had a pur white one and a white one with marking like black wings on her back, but I had not seen the 'ermine' markings before.

I hope you had a good weekend. Stay safe and well.

Ecobird club has replied to Marta Wojtkowska club
Thank you very much Marta. We are so used to seeing them that we sometimes forget it is not the same everywhere else! The silt does present a problem to those who berth their boats here and there have recently been dredging trials carried out to see how they can improve things.

Interesting "net" of lines! Yes, seems to be a royal pigeon.. ;-)

How did you get the enormous depth of sharpness, is it only due to f/20 or did you some focus stacking?

Belated HFF!

Ecobird club has replied to Henri d'Anger
Thank you very much Henri. I always shoot in RAW but It was purely f20 which, along with f22 I try to use most of the time for landscapes as the camera is particularly good at dof using these settings.

Doug Shepherd club
Brilliant shot Carol! I like the succession of triangles crossing the frame and the light on the landing stage and mud. The presence of the Pidgeon close in the foreground gives a great depth to the image. I love the shadow and light creating different colours of the rather deep looking mud separated by the water channel in the second picture.
