Red Necked Grebe

I had a trip to Carnsew Basin today, the target was a Red Necked Grebe seen regularly at the pool, lomg distance made the photography challenging so major cropping in the post processing was required. A close Great Northern Diver was a treat along with a first winter Razorbill.

Garden Shots

One of my Christmas presents was two bird feeders in the form of a poppy. I thought the birds would take a while to feed from them, but they were straight on them. Again high ISO settings in dull light.

Spoonbills

I went to Hayle Estuary today and come across one of the two Spoonbills spending the Autumn at Hayle. A dark and dismal day with a troublesome wind, high ISO's and low shutter speeds made life difficult for the flight shots.
