They will use the same perches, so definitely worth returning, early, and waiting. A pop up hide will serve you well. Which is exactly what I did today, close to a perch they use regularly. Not a bit of it though, they were fishing on the opposite bank periodically for about 3 hours, except for...

That night was a beauty. I was out photographing other stuff and it caught me by surprise, but it was clear it was going to be a corker once the colour started to come in so I hung around, enjoying the location and watching the colour develop (always worth waiting) Which is my answer to Andy's...

This is pretty much what I do. The image on the left just didn't do the scene I was seeing justice, which just goes to show the difference between what a sensor/film sees and what the eye sees. It's all in the processing :) The image on the right was warmed up and the shadows dropped, I did add...

Mark told me about this thread so I thought I'd join up - Don't blame him btw, blame me Scott :) you won't regret it at all mate. It's a cracking little device that's come in handy for lots of other work too. It also has intervalometer/timelapse/startrails modes which are simple and intuitive...
