What a day I picked for photography, overcast and gloom. First stop was Chapel
Carn Brea to find the Richards Pipit, no luck though, the weather was to windy on the hill for me so it was back to
Tregeseal Valley and a look at the sewage works for overwintering
Chiff Chaffs. Three
Chiff Chaff were present along with Grey Wagtail, Pied Wagtail, Wren and Robin and in the field opposite the works there were several
Redwing feeding, unfortunately they were nervous and distance. I had to push the ISO to 640 and 800 to achieve a mediocre shutter speed and the images were captured
with the camera handheld. Also shooting through a chain link fence for the Wag and
Chiff was a challenge




Red Wing (
Turdus illacus)
