Sublime and Beautiful Sunday a few birds here and there

This post is for #SublimeSunday is inspired by Hive account@c0ff33a and #BeautifulSunday is initiated by Hive account@ace108.

I have been out for a few walks recently in a variety of places and trying my luck and catching photos of birds has been one of the things I have bene aiming for on these walks.
I have got enough for now to do a post focusing on birds, I'm not sure if my luck has changed or my patience has improved and I am better at standing still waiting for birds to come into shot more than I used to but I do seem to be getting more bird shots worth sharing than I used to a couple of years ago

Starting with this catbird in Buttonwood park, which was kind of shy and looking away from me and the camera but I will keep trying and get a better shot of a catbird soon (fingers crossed)

Maybe not anything special as they are all around but I got this shot of a robin one morning

While walking along one of the beaches here I saw this cormorant paddling along and diving for food

As always around the ponds there are plenty of ducks, this one was kind enough to pose for a portrait

and another duck, what caught my eye with this one, was all the pollen on its chest, this time of year the pollen levels can be quite high and clearly there is lots floating on the pond
