light up the airspace, lead the target, release a discrete burst or ....i still need to learn how to make this thing lock on so there is no escape
the eos 3 only needed me to look at it and that was the point of interest but it would not have been fast enough for this and film is out for a variety of reasons
this stuff is shot in semi manual boresight mode
im still "jammin" this at the mo but i am trying to work it out
the camera side of it is a steep learning curve at the mo
dog, person, "landscape", "still life" "mood" or pretty plant is easy, mobile critters are a challenge in many ways
most tricky thing i have ever tried to snap
it is not just getting the tech stuff sorted, one needs to understand the critter and what it will do as well as not upsetting the critter, which i can often manage although some can be nervous of a "horrid beardy bloke with one clicking eye"
birds in a bush is quite a challenge as it needs to be close and a bit intrusive

Good pictures. I haven't heard of any but owls producing pellets, but it will be interesting if you can sort out what is in it. Perhaps other birds don't always produce them in the same place, as owls are inclined to, so it has been missed. Small area, intensive viewing can throw up some interesting wildlife observations.
Didn't see so much of the great tits yesterday, but just as we were wondering if the youngsters had fledged, one of the parents turned up and left with a pellet, so assume they are still there, perhaps preparing to fly.
Did a flora survey and found a common spotted orchid in the cleared area under the pylon line, plus a few things I didn't know were in certain areas. We don't get many common spotted as they prefer plenty of light; more often ours are early purples. Hope we get some more next year. |

From Wikipedia:
Hawk and owl pellets are grey or brown, and range in shape from spherical to oblong or plug-shaped. In large birds, they are one to two inches long, and in songbirds, about half an inch. Many other species produce pellets, including grebes, herons, cormorants, gulls, terns,
kingfishers, crows, jays, dippers, shrikes, swallows, and most shorebirds.
