Last month (I can’t believe I’m writing that) I went to Lamesley for a certain bird which failed to show for me again. However, I did get some images of other birds and here they are.
Green Sandpiper.
Only two here but I saw at least four on this
occasion.
Greenfinch.
I was using my new 800mm f6.3 lens and this is an uncropped
shot of a Kestrel hunting near the road way over the opposite side of the ponds
from the hide.
I did a not quite 100% crop on the computer and I’m
impressed that it picked out the Kestrel against the background and in the rain
as well as it has.
The Kestrel caught a Vole
Took it to a post and was immediately mobbed by Jackdaws.
Chiffchaff.
Greylag Goose.
Herring Gull
15.04.24 The bird I was watching for in the hide a Lamsley was unfortunately a no show while I was there however there were other birds coming and going so I thought I would get some flight shots. As you will be able to see from this Blog, I didn’t know which ones to leave out so there are quite a few of them.
