[Don]

A couple more random shots from Europe.

Heavy rain expected here for the next couple of days. Also, DS's auto continues to give grief. I am going to see if our local mechanic shop can take a look at it today (or soon), if I can get it to start. I'm suspecting now that the started may be going bad. Time will tell. Meanwhile I will be ferrying him back and forth to work and back.

G'day Don. Very nice captures of random unidentified places in Europe.

See all the birds in the sky here.


I zoomed in a bit. Well I believe they are all wood ducks.






That's a lot of ducks.

Don, Two distinct different shots, but both interesting.

Peter, WOW, what a huge swarm. Wood Ducks are so cool. I think I have only been able to capture ONE photo of them and that was many many years ago.
Were the ducks making a lot of noise?

I'm becoming deaf in what was my only good ear. So I'm not the best person to ask about how it all sounded. Particularly because there's a main road close by and the roar of passing grain trucks doesn't help. My companion can be quoted as saying, "Can't hear any frogs, maybe the birds are eating the tadpoles?"

Yes there is a cacophony of sounds but they aren't all bird noises. Maybe he couldn't hear the frogs for the bird noises.
