Welney Last Images of the Day

This is the last set of images from our day at Welney - the Marsh Harrier lit by the final rays of sunshine and then flying as dusk descended plus other late afternoon shots

Welney Lady Fen

Welney Wildfowl Trust reserve only has the main hide and part of Lady Fen open due to flooding but we had a very enjoyable day there including a walk in the afternoon on Lady fen watching Cattle Egrets, Hares, Hares, Roe Deer and Tree Sparrows. The final image sums up the habitat and abundance of birdlife. The black bones showing through the feathers of the Cattle Egret in two of the images interested me.

Swans in the Mist - Welney WWT

A magical experience yesterday with the sights and sounds of the Whooper Swans at Welney WWT Reserve. The mist remained all day and was quite thick when we arrived. The first few images were taken lying on the ground so I am at the level of the birds - wonderful for atmospheric shots as it enhances the mistiness of the scenes. Low light level meant the images were at ISO3200 and a bit underexposed to get sufficient shutterspeed with my F8 lens but they have processed ok and hopefully give a feel of the day.
