This is a cheaper option but even with expensive gear you still need a good technique.

*My early attempts are less than average.

Oh, and patience. You can't buy that and it's an important part of wildlife photography.

I have the patience really, my bad back doesn't. Got to move after about 10 minutes unless I am really comfy

Took a bundle of pictures today down at the Clyde in RAW format and it's amazing what you can do with PS raw image edits or Nikons programme. Techinque is brilliant on that.


Didn't take the tripod though as it was a last minute decision to pop down again after running a few errends. But the pictures turned out ok.
Just a pity the birds were scarce today. It was so calm and peaceful today. No wind as such so got some nice reflection shots.

Thanks, Maggie! I am off on Saturday to the Algarve for two weeks! Staying in Galé, it is about 10 minutes away from Albufeira and 5 minutes from my favourite reserve...Pera Marsh!

Should see a few new species there hopefully being near the marsh. Hope the weather is ok for you too.

Thanks for the good wishes. I will probably catch up with a few hundred Chiffchaffs also a few Swallows and Martins, Maggie!

Enjoy your weekend and I hope your weather is good too!

Enjoy your holiday Judith - I love the Algarve, usually stay at Ohlos D'Agua when I go.

For those going to Far Ings this weekend I hope you have an enjoyable and fruitful visit - would have loved to have joined you but I'm not home till 01 October. I intend to go whilst I'm home so I'm looking forward to your trip reports.

Thanks for your good wishes everyone!

That is a great area you stay in, Ian!
