  • Thanks Jim. Is that one of the youngsters that I filmed while they were in the nest, or were the photos taken elsewhere?

  • Beautiful photos Jim;  L.Moss is a lovely place to visit, really looking forward to getting back there soon and hopefully, come October seeing the Bearded Tits, fingers crossed but its all down to luck on the day.    Hope you had time to visit the cafe and taste the Orange Drizzle cake  lol

  • I’m sure one or two might be, MC, they were taken in that vicinity, one let my get that close we could have kissed :) sadly the little camera I took to do a movie of them acted up so I missed it :(

    Thanks, Hazel, I will be up again soon and again later to try for the Bearded Tits, I have a few pictures of them but on the grit trays a want a more natural shot on the reeds before they come down onto the trays but I am greedy lol
    I never made it into the café I did the whole reserve and went for seconds so had a long day, sadly no Orange Drizzle I take my own refreshments but I have tasted the Orange Drizzle cake in the past and its very nice too.

  • Sadly not the adaptor increases the lens you put it on by x10 I tried digiscoping through it but the magnification is to great you only get the central part of the picture I might try another way but that’s on hold for now.

    You don't need plans, Wendy, you can see how its made in the pictures lol
