    Photos Distant Bittern

    My feeble attempts at one of Britain's rarest and hardest to photograph birds, the bittern this evening at Brockholes. They were taken at 5.10pm so you'll appreciate how dull the light was by then. It meant having the ISO at 6400 and the lens could be no faster than f/9 being at 500mm with a 1.4 extender. I was in a stand of trees by the public crossing shooting through the reeds that cover the bank. Not the best, but just pleased to have seen the bittern at Preston. Cropped, of course.









    Also got a very distant shot of a kingfisher.




    Paul.
