Now I'd be the first to admit this is not the best image I have ever made, but it was one I was determined to get. OK, so it's just a record shot, but after a total failure last weekend to even see the birds, I was determined to get something today. Although I followed the same route as last week, both I, and a sizeable group of others at Wyke Down, were treated to a flying display for over an hour, almost without a break. One thing is for certain, there's more work to be done to get to grips with Canon's new 7D Mk ii judging by this result.
Every week Rose tends her daughter's grave and recently noticed this friendly Robin in the churchyard. Needless to say she didn't have a camera with her and bemoaned the fact for days. But today was a different story as we called in on the way to shoot Otters at Blandford. In fact we had too much focal length, hence this uncropped portrait shot. There are plenty of Robins (and pictures of Robins) about at the moment, so it must be nearly Christmas.
