Gunners park

I brought a new camera yesterday so what better place to try it out.

Canon 1d mk3 with a 400mm f5.6 lens

I was hoping for some stonechat photos but a redshank will do !! 

 Then on to southend for some med gull action

can't wait to get out again.

Hanningfield res

I had 6 barnacle with the 50 odd greylag today at Hanningfield reservoir which was a nice surprise.

1 Year on !

Its been a long time since my last blog and some changes along the way. 1st a change of job which has now settled down so hopefully more time for me! 2nd a new kitchen which was the our garage which  was lots of extra work for me and now complete so more time for me! 3rd I am thinking of getting a new camera which will need more of my time which sounds good to me! 

Anyway I did get a small amount of time for some birding, so some photos of when I did.

 Desert wheatear from Gorlestone suffolk in the autumn .

stonechat are fantastic birds and would never get bored of clicking the camera with these around,

Wallasea island with the lads 

At the weekend half a dozen redpolls visited the garden which was a garden tick for me !

 and this fella from this afternoon in the garden.

Hopefully not a year until the next blog!
