Esquimalt Lagoon, looking from the causeway over the lagoon towards the north.
These swans are truly majestic as they glide by. I think these are Mute Swans. There is a lot of wildlife on the lagoon, swans, various ducks and birds, while we were walking along the lagoon we saw a belted kingfisher - I wasn't quick enough to get a photo and otters playing in the middle of the water - too far away to get a photo I'm afraid.
Two birds I did manage to get, a Northern Pintail and a Black Oyster Catcher
This Glaucous- Winged Gull is trying to break open the Clam by continually picking up and dropping the clam on the rocks, eventually it succeeds.
This we think is a Northwestern Crow. Didn't know a lot about birds before this Canadian trip but am learning - thanks to the iBird app.
We left this lagoon and drove a short distance west to Witty's Lagoon unfortunately we turned into the wrong car park which took us to the headland over looking the bay not the lagoon, still got some nice shots of the Bay. Witty's Lagoon will have to wait for another visit.
Evan wrong turnings bring you to wonderful scenery.
