NEW LENS TEST PICS ( CANON EF 70-300MM F4- F5.6 IS II LENS ).

A selection of images taken on Tuesday, the day the new Canon EF 70-300M F4-F5.6 IS II  lens arrived.As I already have the old model what were the advantages buying the latest version.
WelL it has a new Nano focusing system which is very fast and accurate, 67mm optics over 58mm, close focusing down to 1.2 mtrs.
So first impressions it really is a fantastic addition to the camera bag, hope you agree.

MARAZION & PENDEEN 02/07/2017

A few images from a trip to Marazion & Pendeen on Sunday Morning which turned out to be very good, with three decent year ticks.
Started off at Marazion with a Roseate Tern on the beach, then at Pendeen three Coughs on the cliffs, and finished with a Grasshopper Warbler at Bosigrin on the coast road to St Ives.

I have had a bit of a blogging break for a couple of months, so thought I had better put a few images up before the blog gets rusty.
So a number of various images of things I have done during that time.
The Hobby & Red Footed Falcon are only record shots as they were not coming very close, The Falcon was a lifer for me so that was a bonus.

VARIOUS MARCH/APRIL 2017

Once again sorry for the lack of posts over the last month,this is because of a hacker who managed to get into my system and got my banking details. I was very fortunate I realised what was happening and managed to get it frozen just in time, but I can say I had a very close call.
So I have had to clean the whole system including the bios, but it seem all ok now.
So just to say these are a few images over the last month on the few outings I have made.
