BLUETHROAT
|
 |
t took a very long time to capture this Bluethroat as they are very mobile little birds -and at the time I was digiscoping - which made it much more difficult, having to find the bird through the camera monitor, especially if the sun was shining . After several days waiting, this picture was taken at Suscinio in Brittany. He was a long way off but at least he stayed in one place long enough for me to make the capture. |
This picture of the Bluethroat deep in the reeds was taken on a dull and windy day with the 20d and 400mm lens |
 |
..and unusually, a Bluethroat perched on top of a branch. Unfortunately the sun was shining infront of the camera, but I was pleased to be able to catch this pretty little bird in a different setting |

| BEE-EATER |
The Bee-eater was also taken in Brittany on a remote site in the central area. I watched a breeding pair for a long time from a distance, but was very distressed to see a fox carrying one in its mouth which he obviously must have taken from a nest |
KENTISH PLOVER This is a bird I always really have to search for and I have never been lucky enough to find one in England. However there is a coastal walk at Quiberon in Brittany where most years I can usually find one of these birds, and they are reasonably approachable. This capture was made using the 20d and 100-400mm lens. |
