Struggle Harder To Blog

A day off today so I took a trip down through Kenidjack Valley, I live in Tregeseal Valley so its an easy excursion for me. My photography fell apart today, some days it is a struggle to produce something descent to blog.
Have you noticed how rough the plumage of the birds have become as they come to the end of their breeding season . I guess they will soon hide and go into moult. My kids have fledged the nest, then one came back, my plumage is in a hell of state and beyond repair.
The butterfly is a Small Heath ( I hope) then a Reed Warbler, followed by a Juvenile Blackbird, and finally a White throat.
The Lens I used on the Blackbird,Reed Warbler and white throat was my 18 to 200 zoom. Please click opn the image to enlarge

  2. Very nice series of photos. My photography doesn't always go the way I want it to, either. I discovered recently that my picture quality setting had gotten changed or moved on my little Panasonic DMC FZ50 camera - Took me awhile to catch on and get it reset.

  4. Great shots. I know exactly what you mean... It should never become a chore. As for the birds, when they are in moult you almost feel that you are invading their privacy by photographing them. Female Mallards get a raw deal, I have noticed.
