The Black Winged Stilts only stayed a day, the featture of this species are undoubtedly its legs, but I do like head shots so I have excessively cropped some images for this post.
We have got a new blogger on the block, I would recommend you have a good look at this , here is the link http://www.images-naturally.co.uk/ .
I visited the link you provided for the new blogger. I left a comment saying I found him through JR and Sue, but it should have said Sam and Lisa. Anyway, I've tried to leave other comments on his blog, to correct that one, and comment on his photography, but no luck. Does he not allow anyone to comment? I see there are zero comments for all his posts. Just curious.
Sam and Lisa are keen photographers with a particular interest in birds and wildlife in Cornwall. We have always been interested in photography but the improvements to digital cameras have renewed our interest. We hope you will enjoy viewing our photo blog!
Our equipment is as follows: I shoot with a Nikon D300 and D800e Camera and my lenses are a 300mm F/2.8 VR, 2.0 x Nikon Teleconverter,300 to 800mm Sigma Zoom and an 18 -200mm Nikon Zoom. Lisa has a Nikon D90 with HD Video capabilities and the 18-105mm Nikon Zoom. She also commandeers my lenses when needed! I shoot always in RAW format....
