5th May 2010 - Farlington

Last night we took a gentle walk at Farlington, with a few moderate successes.

A first proper airing of the 300/2.8, with pleasing results- although am looking forward to retiring this ballhead, for large telephoto work at least.


A number of Little Egrets (Egretta Garzetta) were about, with a few flying gently by in range.


This Common Tern (Sterna Hirundo) kept fishing along the same stretch, creating a silhouette against the setting sun.


...and a first for us- this Shoveller (Anas Clypeata) loitering in the distance.


But it would be wrong to not comment on the female Lapwing (Vanellus Vanellus) with her pair of chicks. Anything that breathed near them was chased off- except when she disappeared for a while!
