Waders and Wildfowl at Welney

One of the most spectacular sights at Welney are the large flocks of Black-tailed Godwits and Lapwings that rest of the islands on the wash, taking to the air every time a Marsh Harrier or other raptor passed overhead.

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.

Trees in the Mist

A few images of trees in the mist from Friday's walk on the golf course in Toft. Depending on the direction of taking, the sky had various colours.

Foggy Walk in Toft

After a clear sunrise, the fog rolled in and, by 8am, was very thick for the school run. Here a few images from my walk around the village and golf course.

Late Fungi Hardwick Wood

I was surprised how many fungi were present in Hardwick Wood today - mainly Mycena species, plus some very large Clitocybe geotropa caps. I focus stacked quite a few of the toadstools at F2 or F4 (30 images) giving diffuse backgrounds. Used a LED light that changes colour temperatures for lighting - mainly daylight but also did a composite of several images taken with different colour lights.
