And the star of the show.... a Bittern! Which are supposed to be rare :) Yay

It flew by the hide I was in and I managed to get this!

:LOL:
 
If #1 had a caption it probably would not be polite... love the chaffinch shots, very crisp and nice expressions.

Bittern - well any shot of these is a bonus so well caught.

Sorry though, he tilt on the Heron shot doesn't really do it for me.

Don't really understand you're first comment? :bonk: edit: i get it now :)

The heron shot was the only one I could get :D It was near some reeds close to the hide and i had the 300mm plus extender on, and coudn't really move back any further than I did. :)

Nice work! At first glance I thought they were a bit on the light side, but it does give the shots a deilcate feel which is quite nice. I love the pose in that 2nd Chaffy shot.

Well done on catching the Bittern. They're not exactly rare -just really difficult to get a sight of most of the time.

Thankyou :)
 
Love the chaffies, not so keen on the drunken heron and so envious that you have seen and captured a bittern, well done.
:clap:
 
Looks like you have caught the bug Sarah, nice shots, with the Heron just tell them you were stalking it and one leg started sinking in the mud (y)

I really do not like "tilted" shots, but sometimes as in your case needs must.

That's correct - I was sinking in the mud :LOL:
 
Some nice shots you have here. I think most of us on here would consider it a big bonus to even see a bittern let alone capture it.
 
"I'm having no luck when I go out photographing recently. I go early to the hides - nothing. I go out at just before dusk - no luck.

Feel like I'm failing and haven't even begun

Not sure what I want from this thread, but just needed to vent my frustration."

Well! Well! Things have taken a turn Sarah :LOL::LOL: Lovely set, the Chaffie`s are some of the best I have seen on TP so well done :clap::clap:

Lol, feels like its all come at once. I'm still buzzing after today :LOL:

Thankyou for the comments about the Chaffinch(es) :) :woot:
 
Took me 10 years to see my first Bittern, it was also at Minsmere so well seen and caught. I like the low POV on the Chaffinches.
