With a focal length of 3000mm the temptation to use full zoom is hard to resist ... using less zoom is good where possible though ...
This nice singing male Reed Bunting was perching obligingly to give me time to explore the photographic options ...
Meadow Pipits were all over the place as I walked by Stagsike Meadow ... and clearly appreciating the gentle wind allowing them to stay a while on song posts ...
On their breeding territories Starlings take on a whole other character ...
... looking dominant and full of character on the wires ...
Common Sandpiper was back on the tarn but gave only a departing but satisfying glimpse ... whereas Lesser Black-backed, Black-headed and Common Gulls lingered at the east end ...
... a first-summer Common Gull among the prospective breeders ...
... and two female Goldeneye still on their winter grounds ...
... a fly-by pair of Greylags ... testing the capabilities of the camera ... and of me ... birds in direct flight are just about do-able with these cameras ...
... much easier though are those species that perch up for a while ... as with this female Stonechat ...
