A somewhat crappy background, but the first one I've got close to this year

I guess like most of the UK, the weather has not been conducive to producing decent wildlife images here in the East Mids for the last couple of days.

I did though persevere and came up with the images below whilst simultaneously walking the dog !

Nothing special but still very happy with the D810/Sigma 150-600C combination.

why is it when you don't have the long lens on you see these things! :(
It's called "sods law" unfortunately.
( as opposed to finely chopped cabbage, thats Coleslaw :D )
 
A great capture. I very often see moorhen on my local pond but very rarely flying. Lots of great detail too.
Thanks Gary, the moorhens on my local pond rarely fly, they are more likely to run across the water.
