Birds Last weekends outing...

[Uncle Kevriano]

A few shots from an outing to Lackford Lakes and Lakenheath Fen. A couple of heavy crops here, the Cuckoo especially, which really should not have come out (high in a tree at least 75 yards away), but a rather good day out.

Looks like another cracking weekend for you Kev! I love the bathing Snip and juvenile long-tailed tit. I've only ever heard the cuckoo's, never got a shot of one. There's definitely a few around by us, maybe I'll get lucky!

 

[Uncle Kevriano]

Cheers Tim. Yes a fine day out for sure. Now we have some nicer weather it's much nicer being out. I'll be getting the Macro going soon.

An amazing set of images, Kev!

Cheers Jeff, much appreciated

 

[Sdawes]

Great set Kev , I love Lakenheath Fen , any sight or sounds of the Bitterns

 

[Uncle Kevriano]

Cheers Steve. No sight, but 3 booming, and there are 7 reported across the reserve. We were only there 3 hours though. It does appear that the main hide for them, on the boardwalk, is closed or is no more. I've been trying to find out.
