21st November 2010

A still photo taken using my new Canon S95 compact digital camera attached to my Nikon ED50 scope. The photo was taken from the pillinge hide.

And a video of the same group of Lapwings and Teal taken with the S95/ED50 combination.

The light was pretty dull and I'm pleased with both the still photo and particularly the video results... :-)

I also saw 5 Lesser Repolls near the Pillinge lake with Neil Wright and Bob Hook.

20th November 2010

A group of 5 Lesser Redpolls were seen by Neil Wright, Bob Hook and myself between the Pillinge and the railway line. I also saw a Goldcrest in the same area, the first one I've seen on the park all year...

7th November 2010 More Bearded Tits!

Today there were at least 12 Bearded Tits in Wetland 3. This time some of them posed very well for me in great light... :-)

6th November 2010 Bearded Tits!

Roy Nye had seen two Bearded Tits at wetland 9 on the 4th November so I spent the morning trying to see if there were any still about. I'm very pleased to say that there were at least 8 Bearded Tits commuting between wetlands 9 and 3!... :-)
