I was there the same day!,,,,. I grew up on a farm on the other side of the swale looking at elmley. It’s my peaceful place.

[@stormcabbirds]

Nice! Nature your whole life

For Bird watching and photography Elmley is the jewell of Kent and you seemed to have made the most of it - well done, another excellent post

[@stormcabbirds]

@@nikonnorm thank you. Next one coming tomorrow 😁

Cutting hay always puts mice, snakes, bugs out where they can be caught. Buzzards appear to be molting. Very relaxing. Thanks

[@stormcabbirds]

@@Gregory-en5kq makes sense now

[@seanmarah6886]

how are you finding using the r7 and do you have issues with mechanical shutter shake or rolling shutter?

[@stormcabbirds]

@@seanmarah6886 yeah rolling shutter is a pain, but if you want to capture fast moving birds, you don’t have much choice. You just have to fire away and hope 1 of them isn’t too distorted, therefore usable. I pretty much don’t use mechanical any more as it’s too slow and the noise scares birds off.

[@timballard27]

Excellent round up but 22 hours without food? That's true dedication. 2 hours and i'm off round to Costas😂

[@stormcabbirds]

@@timballard27 intermittent fasting. Each all your food in 2 hours. Been losing some weight. Tough first time you do it, then you can pull it out at any time when necessary. Your body knows to not panic.

Not sure how it’s spelt but it’s mixymotosis

[@stormcabbirds]

@@philbeighton6448 that sounds right 😂

Hi, I wrote several comments in your birding video when you visited Hong Kong 🇭🇰 three months ago. Please have a look. You didn’t get an opportunity to see Oriental Magpies, Pacific Swifts, and a few other birds. There is no hummingbird in Hong Kong 🇭🇰. Anyway, please do have a good read about your HK bird video you loaded up three months ago.
