Yesterday I had a trip across the Yorkshire Moors, to survey the upland and moorland birds.
As we have had a proper winter for a number of years, I was concerned what effect this has had on many nesting moorland birds.
I was really surprised to see good numbers of both Lapwing and Curlew.
When I say good numbers this was roughly twenty pairs of Lapwing and half a dozen pair of Curlew, in a twenty mile radius.
Not huge numbers, but nether the less a pleasing sight.
Most of the birds were to far away to photograph and were quite well camouflaged in the heather!
A number of shots that I managed! Very much like hide and seek, just couldn't get close enough to get full body shots.
Hope you enjoy them!
Regards Buzzard

Thanks TJ. I had no idea what the metering setting meant so I set it to "multiple" which is the whole of the screen. I have now changed it to "centre weighting" and will see what happens.
Cheers, Linda.
