Its a brilliant spot, was there a few years ago and a Peregine was 'riding the wind' at eye level about 15 feet away, guess what, no camera! The steep grassy slope leading down to Branscombe mouth is a superb spot for grass snakes warming up, great video and shots.

Oh wow! That's always the way isn't it but a great view none the less! Ahh ill keep that in mind, would love to get some Snake Photography done on Adders or Grass Snakes 🐍 thanks for watching

Needed to be much earlier on that 3rd day - be there at pre dawn. As to shutter speed, 1/4000 is the minimum that I would use for a Peregrine. With today's AI NR software, you should never be afraid of pushing the ISO upwards.
@LewisRound 4 күн бұрын
Yeah you're probably right, I had limited time to get out on the cliffs as I was on holiday but next year I'm planning on making more of a dedicated trip for the Peregrines for sure! And yeah I definitely need to push the ISO more, guess I need to trust the kit more, Thanks for watching and the Advice
@davepastern 4 күн бұрын
@@LewisRound I typically shoot BIFs at a minimum of 1/2000 @ f8. For Peregrines, I'd be going at 1/4000 minimum, since they are such a fast bird. Some pros recommend shooting wide open (give it a try) at 1/4000 (Isaac Grant for example). I prefer to stop down to f8 although for me, that means pushing my ISO up by a stop. I use a R3 which is the current ISO king and it's good up to ISO10000 (I have shot some Australian logrunners at ISO25600 and they came out OK after NR and editing). With a modern camera, especially a MLC, you shouldn't be afraid of pushing the ISO.

I was sitting in a hide at Cley the other day, trying out a new digiscoping set up when a stunning fresh-faced juvenile Sparrowhawk came and sat on a post right out in the open just meters from the hide... if i had had my Nikon Z 100-400mm (1.4x TC permently attached) with me i would have got crippling images! However i had to settle for just crippling views as my scope was at the other end of the hide!... after about a minute or so i turned to see were my scope was and when i turned back the bird was gone.

That's a Classic example of Bird Photography isn't it, one day you have all the gear you need for the moment but it never comes, the next time you have nothing with you and you get all the opportunity but are powerless to take advantage Haha 😅

Looks more like a Greenshank rather than a Wood Sand?!
@LewisRound 17 күн бұрын
You could very well be right it's just quite a bit smaller than other Greenshank I've seen, the more I look at that Bill it does seem on the longer side though 🤔
@solitarysandpiper8491 16 күн бұрын
@LewisRound flipping waders!... never thought I would mistake a Greenshank for a Wood Sand but until Christian mentioned it I never doubted you. Don't feel too bad though because many moons ago a super-rare Greater Yellowlegs turned up at Daventry, hundreds of birders turned up, many of them experienced twitchers (the finder was a really experienced rarity hunter) but later in the day, after many had ticked it off their list and gone home, a guy noticed a white wedge on the wader's back... it was a Common Greenshank! There were more than a few Rufous-faced bumblers spotted leaving the area after that one.

I went a few years ago, great day out. The Puffins are walking past you on their way to their burrows. I took my Canon 100-400 V1 which struggled with the flying birds. I had left my 70-200/2.8 in the car, which in hindsight would have been a better choice. The Razerbillls/Guillimots were on the rocky ledges as the boat dropped us off. I did get a fledgling Little Owl sat up on a rock waiting to be fed, that was a bonus. We're actually on holiday in Pembrokeshire this week, I'm a short drive away so I may take the kids there for a visit. The rainy images were a nice change from the norm, well done for persevering and going anyway. It looks like it was quiet there.
@LewisRound Ай бұрын
Yes a fantastic location and in my view the best place to photograph Puffins, The Razorbills and Guillemot have left the cliffs when I went unfortunately and apparently the Puffins have left by now but there may be some stragglers if you get lucky, ahh interesting to hear little Owl have been on there with the lack of trees, I've seen Short Eared Owl there before though. The 2.8 would be perfect for them in flight I may get one and visit again next year with one

Well done on finding and capturing great images of a beautiful bird. I haven’t seen one for a few years, last time was Ynys-Hir in North Wales where Springwatch was using the reserve as its base.

Nice ! The chase is around 25 mins from me. I'm up there every few weeks but it's so vast it's hard to find stuff. Got some good pics of spotted flycatchers last year though. I went up recently looking for crossbills (unsuccessfully) and did the obligatory stop at Wolseley on the way back. I'm currently on a Linnet mission at a place near me where there's a good number every day, just not managed to get a decent close pic yet.

If individuals push or create a ruckus, might they wade in destroy the habitat in tidying up the place, or just plain block access. I hate the state of the place, I hate the scum who are trashing the place, somethings gotta give soon. I feel it will be wildlife and us that get the brunt of this. I hope I will be proven wrong and actually the owners are planning improvements that are considerate of the environment. Partner with rspb perhaps if either party can.
