Resting Songy

Just a quick post, before fingers crossed the rain holds off and I can get out later to Formby.

I am hoping to see some Red Squirrels which are making a slow come back since they where nearly wiped out by Squirrel Pox and then possibly down to the dunes for more butterflies, but its all on the weather...

I am also going to try a different macro adapter, normally I use a x4, but tonight I am just going to try a x2 I am hoping this will get similar results without having to get as close, I can only try.

So for todays photo, I spotted this resting song thrush this morning and couldn't resist.
Photo taken with Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm @ 500mm

So all going well I will try and do another post later or tomorrow depending on how long it takes to go through and edit the pics.

Mike.
