Slavonian Grebe At Sennen

I returned to Sennen Cove today hoping for closer shots of the Long Tailed Duck, no luck with the duck but this confiding Slavonian performed for me. The light levels once again a problem using high ISO settings but I had a productive couple of hours, with Great Northern Diver, Long Tail Duck but distant, Grey Plover, and close Dunlin, Sanderling and Ringed Plover.

This handsome, full adult, Drake Long tailed Duck was photographed today at Sennen Cove. I would love to get closer to this stunning duck (tomorrow hopefully). Please click on the image to enlarge

Round Up Of New Years Eve

Pale Bellied Brent Goose

Black Redstart At Newlyn Lighthouse Pier.












Eider Duck

I photographed these two Eider Duck yesterday just off the promenade in Penzance. The distance and the poor light made photography difficult. New years Eve was a good day for birding and photography, lets hope it is a sign of things to come.
