Lesson Learned part 2

[Rubber Soul]

After 4 days no show or fly bys, the female landed on the perch this morning.
I used the same set up as previous post, apart from using the Canon app in place of wired remote.

Very well done.

I'm often tempted to use the app but I'm not sure how the batteries, both in phone and in camera would stand up. I have 3 batteries for my R7, so should be fine but the phone is another matter. I may just suck it and see one day soon, I can always revert to the viewfinder if my phone dies.

What's up with her beak? Is it snapped at the top or under/over developed do you think?

EDIT: I see in the first image of your first thread, that the upper mandible tip is flicked up, so I'm guessing she's snapped it, probably during a dive.

I just bought a 28000mAh powerbank from Amazon.

£9.54

It's brilliant.

This one.

It's gone up to £12.98 but still won't break the (power)bank.

Bought it for my lens heater when taking astro stuff.

Excellent Gary, especially the first one.

Are those 2 lines on the left grass stalks? If it were mine I'd be tempted to try and move them out of the way next time - that's assuming they are within reach.

Glad you got these though, its a great little area you have there

Thank you. The battery on my has 4 hours of of use if fully charged.

Thank you. It is reed stalks, which are inaccessible.
