Norfolk - Holkham, Titchwell and Cley February 2019
_SUE4891.jpgSnow Bunting - There was a flock around 12 or so birds and distant - so even with 900mm they were still very small in the frame and I've cropped the images too, so the quality won't be all that. |
_SUE4924.jpgSnow Bunting - Holkham, Norfolk. |
_SUE4914.jpgSnow Bunting having a bit of wing stretch! Distant bird and cropped image. |
_SUE4937.jpgSnow Bunting - distant bird and cropped image - so cut though. The seem to have a 'sugar puff' for a beak! |
_SUE4949.jpgSnow Bunting - again! Sorry. |
_SUE4988.jpgRock Pipit - Holkham - distant and cropped image. |
_SUE4995.jpgSleeping Pink Foot Geese - I know this because they were not sleeping when I saw them earlier! There were other about too grazing, but this line of sleeping bird appealed to me aesthetically so I chose the edit this one. |
_SUE5004.jpgBarn Owl - hunting over RSPB Titchwell Marsh - seen from the path just below the visitor centre. It had been there quite a few days and we becoming a bit of photo celebrity too! |
_SUE5011.jpgLong-tailed Tit - such a fluffy, cute little bird - love them! Perfect for Valentine's day too! The only downside using the 2x at f8 the ISO shot up to 3200 because this little bird was in shade, but at least I didn't need to crop much - just enough to frame the subject a little better than the RAW image. |
_SUE5026.jpgBrent Geese - I love these little Geese - they have a lovely relaxing call which I can show on a photo but if you go to RSPB Frampton Marsh where they get 1000s of them in, you can listen all day at this time of year. |
_SUE5033.jpgGrey Plover - very like a Golden Plover but silver, grey in colour rather than golden brown. It's a distant shot but having caught the bird having a little stretch, I thought I'd just add it to the gallery. |
_SUE5037.jpgDrake Teal showing off his 'quiff' to best advantage! Love the creamy colour in the tweedy feathers on the back. |
