While scanning the flocks of ducks again I was told that the Scaup was up in the centre of the south lake so I went up to have a look it took a bit of searching but I found it but it kept diving so it it a very hard duck to find and with out the information given I mostl likely would of past it of as a female type tufted.
Went back on Sunday for a quick walk round the lake with my son and had a wonderful view of a drake Pintail with a good number of Teal in one of the flooded pools on Hampreston meadows
a Med Gull and two Stonechats.

What lens do you have? I have a 400mm and I admit that I find it a struggle as well. I invested in a cheap bridge camera, but it's quite tricky to use at long distances.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if I have already sent this.
DeleteI use a Tamron 70-300mm and a Canon 400mm lens I tend to use the Tamron more as I struggle with the 400 as it is not image Stabilised and is best used with a tripod.
Is it the canon 400mm f5.6? That's the one I have. It's certainly not easy getting crystal clear shots but I always use it because of the reach.
ReplyDeleteMy canon lens is the fixed 400 L 5.6/f SUM , not the 100-400mm one
