A few of the species seen on a warm but very windy trip to Barry Buddon, the first time I've been if I don't count being escorted off as a youngster by a Soldier with a rifle! Most photos taken at distance.

ReplyDeleteThanks Charles, it was a windy day with many people so I was taking photos for the record and fortunately some turned out OK despite the weather and distances involved. All taken with my Canon Powershot SX50 HS on manual and shutter speeds of 100 - 250. The Cuckoo was a juvenile, other photos showed a white patch on the head, Kinnaber is another area where they have been seen on the coast.
