Low Light Photography at Woodbridge Island / Table Bay Nature Reserve

| Yellow-billed duck : Diep River : Table Bay Nature Reserve |
What a difference a day makes. Yesterday's glorious morning turned into a thick fog layer all over the Diep River and the Table Bay Nature Reserve, Woodbridge Island - with poor light and visibility all round.
I walked into the reserve and waited for more than hour for the fog to lift somewhat. Nevertheless, I managed a few shots in these challenging conditions. I spotted two black-headed herons - interesting they don't go near any of the grey herons in the reserve - keeping very much a steady distance.
Birds of the morning:
- Yellow-billed duck
- Reed cormorant in flight
- Yellow-billed duck in flight
- Pied kingfisher in flight (with fish)
