this Nuthatch although getting a half decent shot in the
low light provided a challenge.
After a day of strong winds and heavy horizontal drizzle throughout it was a call at Raggalds Flood then on to Ogden armed with the 300mm round my neck and 2x converter in my pocket though the converter was of no use in the very low light, even the 300mm struggled.
Raggalds Flood held at least 7 Snipe in amongst the reeds at the north end of the water. Tried a few distant shots in the gloom but these were only good for counting the birds blown up.
Ogden was horrendous with a strong W>5 blasting the heavy horizontal drizzle across the water making viewing difficult. Around 200 small gulls were out in the centre, 75% being Black Headed and 25% Common along with 2 LBB and 1 Herring.
The Kingfisher was down in the dark sluice gate area whilst a single Nuthatch was on the feeders , even an easy shot like that causing difficulty with no light.
Only 31 photo days to winter solstice, shortest day.
