The first weekend was spent with my good friend Ken and Martin after the Focus show, we also bumped into Pete which is always a pleasure.
The perches are very close to the hide and most shots are near full frame with the 400mm, this made me think about comp which is a nice thing to worry about after only using a 300mm before.
The light was also good which is a bonus.
Whilst taking to Pete he showed us some pics of the sparrow hawk which had visited earlier in the day. With this in mind I visited again the following weekend.
Early morning start and it is raining again :( however I met with Ken and we decided to head to the hide.
The light was bad to say the least and the first few hours were spent shooting at ISO 1600 which is always a worry with my 30D. I have to say with a little noise reduction I am quite happy with the results. Ian came along to join the fun which kept our spirits high :)
A good display of red polls again but now sign of the sparrow hawk after sitting in the hide for 7 hours :(
A few goldfinches also showed.
What will next weekend bring I ask myself ????
