i was not trying, they photobombed a bit of sky i am surprised at the detail in the full fat version
one good(imho and stuff anyone else, 5 yrs at art school honed my don't care i like it) arty snap, loads of postcard style wasters nice ones but not my thing even if folk like postcard snaps
i was not after seaside wildlife, i takes more than a few days to get settled in to critter world and plenty of observation to choose good spots
i got a few birds, something black and white duck shape red bill? cute quite small, i will find that and id the thing, the snaps are not portrait but will do for id
the brown things hiding in the seaweed are in the snaps but i cant find them yet, ace cammo 30 m many of them and invisible against rocks and seaweed
the big lens would be best for critters, another couple of delicate kilos to haul about but.... |

As I posted above, saw 4 roe deer yesterday in the woods, all in winter coats. Also spent some time sitting quietly and had visitations by the robin, plus another that tried to use its feeding station and got seen off. Also bluetits in the trees, a jay, probably a buzzard overhead, although couldn't see the tail clearly enough to tell if it was a kite or buzzard, but buzzards are more common. Heard the magpies kicking up a row as usual, and plenty of pigeons about. By the look of the feathers I have seen, buzzards, sparrohawks or others are enjoying them for dinner too. |

roe are fun, they cover quite large distances, following them is interesting and usually a very nice walk. it helps having a couple of hounds and a couple of spaniels who will sniff but not chase to do the heavy lift tracking until you get to a fresh trail, then it is a matter of staying far enough away not to scare them and close enough to observe them.
creeping up on reds while they shelter from weather is a game i used to play in the mountains, sneak among them and lie still with them is strange, and i have been told it is probably quite dangeroos by an amazed keeper/gillie.
the last time i did it, they did not notice me until they stood up to move
ps sneaking and parking with dogs is probably very difficult, the yellow one was good at people and many critters, but deer are rather good at not being eaten, so we kept to a few hundred yards unless we got too close by accident which was usually follow over. |
