It's still really dull with the odd bit of sun if it breaks through the clouds, that said the light wasn't too bad on Sunday so Mere Sands it was. The last time I was here I was looking for butterflies and dragonflies. They have done a lot of work here too trimming back some of the reeds so I am really looking forward to spring coming and see what visitors they get there.
Anyway here are a few snaps that came out ok.
The first shot is of a Female Reed Bunting, it was the camouflage that made this image stand out and the colours.
Secondly a Chaffinch sat for quite a while in a tree near to the hide, It was pretty far off but its cropped ok.
All photos taken with a Nikon D70 + Sigma 170-500mm
Not a bad couple of hours out, Role on spring and the late nights.

Hi Mike,

And the robins pictures, they are awesome, I love very much the second shot of the robin... Mate, this is a big come back ;-) Happy to read you again and admire your work!
These are great as always! I love that photo of the robin with it's wings fluttering! Wonderful! The Reed Bunting and the Chaffinch are wonderful, too! How nice that you have some sunshine....I hope our snow goes away soon and things get better here.
ReplyDeleteLovely set Mike, and like you say, how can you resist a Robin. They always seem ready to pose.
