- Hi Phil,......Just a shame the last hide, where they go into roost, becomes a bit of a circus...
- Hi Phil,
I was in Xerox hide last Friday (not too busy), and I saw a male and female Hen Harrier coming in to roost at 4.05pm - too dark and distant for a shot though! A juv Buzzard landed on a post near the hide, which was a bonus.
I did manage a Barney in almost complete darkness at 4.20pm at ISO 51200 (amazed the camera locked on):

I'm getting them in my garden quite regularly now, but they never stay put long enough for me to get a shot!
Few from Slimbridge today.
Great shots Phil - have you taken up residence there

Honestly doesn't work for me as a photo ... get your partner to paint itWhat do youallthink?
Thanks GrampsHonestly doesn't work for me as a photo ... get your partner to paint it
Maybe breaking all the rules, as this was taken at Christmas, not today! I was looking through old photos and my partner commented on how much she liked this Oyster Catcher. I had discounted it because it's flying away and the face/general detail isn't clear.
My partner is an artist but doesn't give a hoot about the technical photography aspect, so we often have very different tastes in photos.
What do you all think?

According to my good self, while out with a bird enthusiast photography pal some time ago, they are actually Pebbletossers ... I knew it had something to do with turning pebbles over just couldn't remember the correct name!The Turnstones having a banquet ARE Turnstones.
