Managed to get out this morning for the first time in what seems like ages, Headed down to Hayle Est with Brian another birding friend.
We found two Whooper Swans on the estuary, and also one Spoonbill that was roosting on the far side.
We then headed to Marazion and located a Gadwall on the marsh area, then it was on to Penzance to look for Purple Sandpipers at the Swimming Pool sadly none were seen, but did get a nice shot of a Turnestone which posed rather nicely.
We then took a drive over the coast road from Penzance to St Ives looking for Hen Harriers & Short Eared Owls but guess it was a bit late in the morning for then.
Anyway nice morning out and a few birds to boot a few of which are posted below.

Post update, after a few initial problems getting the EOS 50D sorted out and upgrading some software issues, I now feel I am beginning to get better images from the setup.
I still feel there are a few more tweaks to get it as I want it.
These images are certainly cleaner and sharper Monty, 50D appears to be producing the goods
ReplyDeleteGreat set Monts,love the Whoopers,i agree with Bob.
