Hello Jerry
Many thanks for your comments. I had been trying for ages to get a good
shot of the kingfisher. He usually sits on a post much closer to
another of the hides, but there have been too many people watching out
for him lately, and he seems to be keeping away. If the chance presents
itself, I should get an even better shot of him! Not ideal
photographing a 5 inch high bird at 50 metres away!!
The bittern was a chance shot. The fly so low, and are so well
camouflaged, that even spotting one in flight is very difficult;
fortunately, an experienced birdwatcher spotted it, and I quickly swung
the camera round, did my best to track him, and pushed the button. And
it came off, much to my surprise!! When I first looked at the
photograph, I thought there wasn't a bird on it. I'm hoping that I get
some better shots of the bittern as winter arrives, and all of the birds
emerge more from the reedbeds looking for food.
Anyway, glad you liked them.
Cheers
Keith
