rspb minsmere/ strumpshaw fen

[j.palmer]

Well I've managed to get back online and show these from my day hols I had last wed.

I really could'nt make my mind up, minsmere which I love but is not really suited for photography as the distance is to great...

or strumpshaw fen which Ive never been to.

I made the choice minsmere, and lugging my 600 and all the bits and the bigma was'nt as painfull as I had thought, but Im glad Ive invested on this cheap 600 very handy when you need 1680mm.

2x tc my 1st chiff chaff

stacked 2x + 1.4xtc my 1st lapwing

There was'nt much I could do so I decided to travel about an 1hr to str/fen but on the way out.

stacked 2x + 1.4xtc my 1st

and down by the car

600mm

strumpshaw fen

when I got to the fen (which in my apinion is much better suited for photography and Ill be back here next month.

walking down the track i could see some movement but not realy exspecting this .

I watched this stoat for about ten mins trying to carry the rabbit down the path.

there was plenty going on marsh harrier, barn owl, geese ,ducks etc. i could'nt get a good shot this time of the m/h and others but i was happy with this tufted duck.

All in all a good day, my arm did'nt drop off, my lens /scope is good in the field, and I wish I had gone to strumshaw fen to start with.

many thanks jason

Awesome set, you must be built like Rambo to carry all that gear. Dead jealous of your Stoat pic my favourite predator.

While at Strumpshaw dont forget to keep your eyes peeled for the Otters, Kingfisher and Bittern as well
