Spent 7 hours on and off, between Friday evening and Saturday looking for this Tawny before finding it sat above the nest Sunday morning, my first really good look and photos of a wild Tawny
Shot at Flamboro' in low light and sea mist, just a quick laptop edit, will take another look later on the monitor
Below, down in the hollow trunk they have two chicks that can't be far off branching, been a long time coming but a lovely bird to see
@gramps same place as last year Roger
The pp'ing looked bl**dy awful! I'm using a 'new to me' laptop and won't be using it for anymore editing anytime soon, it just goes to show how different images can look on different screens
Re-edit and exif for those interested
1/125, f6.3, IS0 500, tripod mounted

This is cheating, really. Been to Slimbridge today, so some very easy captures.
All with the Panasonic G9 and the Leica 100-400mm. - I found this lens to be too long, and will take the Olympus 40-150mm f2.8 Pro next time.

rehydrate them in boiling water let soak for 30 minutes. That way the chicks get moisture if the adults are feeding them

The black swan and the mandarin drake are very good, IMO,
Malcolm but may I suggest this for the common pochard…
Hi Daniel, I’m on the iPad at the moment and it’s difficult for me to ascertain the tweaks you have made, is it just an increase in brightness?
I would appreciate your explanation of the changes.

Subtle tonal taming with the effect of lower key on the stones
and higher the low keys on the birds.

Crow Fishing from today on a weir on the River Calder at Whalley.
I thought the Crow fishing I saw a few days ago might have been a one off, but it seems there are several that have mastered the art of fishing. They don't stay in one spot like the gulls, but tend to hop around the little pools that form. The problem is when they do catch a fish it happens so quickly and the birds tend to be a blur..

I see you had a good time Michalene!
I think you could brighten up your swan and chick a tad
though the coot is ok!

thanks @Kodiak Qc I was hoping you'd give me something constructive with the swan as I find them quite hard to photograph
