Three Red Crested Pochards were on the far side of the water; two females, and one male.
Here's the female.
(apologies if you've seen her before on my other blog, but she is lovely.)
and three of the male.
There was a large group of Long Tailed Tits flying through the trees too. Dozens; mostly juveniles. There must have been at least two or three families all together. Lovely little birds.
and last one, a very young Blackcap, hiding amongst the bushes.
Enjoy your day

Thanks to human error on my part I managed to loose your post on my blog while in the process of responding in regard to your Osprey comment. In my old State of Maine, as appears to be the case in your area of the world, the best you can hope for is a view of an Osprey from a distance. However Sanibel Island is one of those magical places where the birds go about their business and pay little attention to us humans. The island is also the home of the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge, and provides habitat for over 220 species of birds. I hard not to get a good image.
Awesome sunlight on these beauties!! What a brilliant RED beak and Eye on that Pochard!
First the Sabine and then these. It really was your day. Great shots.
Thanks John. Yea, they're quite exotic looking in a way.
Mike, that sounds like an excellent place. I certainly could spend some time there.
Thanks Sondra. Yea, he's a real beauty.
Choy Wai, it certainly was :-)

Lovely critters, one and all. The pochard is a beauty. I've not seen one before.
