A few flying things from Westhay today.

[KennyC]

A few snaps from the Somerset Wildlife Trust reserve at Westhay, today. I was rather annoyed because of 24 shots in a sequence of the Grebe with a fish, the only one that was reasonably in focus is the one shown. Others were not useable. User error obviously!
OM1i + 300f4. [No extender].

I've moved this to the Birds section.

Looks like a very productive day's work despite the issues

It was just the fish sequence that was bad. I was caught unawares probably with the wrong set of focus points, so I am sure it was pure operator error.

Did the Grebe swallow the fish?

[KennyC]

Don't know, but I expect it did. It swam away out of sight still holding the fish.

Great variety - grebe and chinook in one outing 👍👍👍

[KennyC]

Actually I had one frame with both the chinook and the Egret in view, but only the Egret was in focus.

Love the grebe and fish and the harrier

[sapper]

Good shots, especially the fishy one.

Lovely set. If one was in focus, why were the rest not? Odd....

I am down at Ham Wall tomorrow, so hopefully come back with a bag full...

Mark checkout VP1 over by the swit boxes on the water Glossy IBIS showning this week

[MJ224]

Thanks. I saw and photo'd the Glossy Ibis, but did not see any Sand Martins alas. Plenty of Marsh Harriers, but only the Bittern Boom....Great venue...

My lad got the glossy ibis there yesterday

'Cos I think I had a small area set and I wasn't following the bird well enough. I use the Fn lever to change the focus area and each of my C1 to C4 settings have a different lever set up. I am very easily confused these days!
