New digiscoping camera...

Bar-tailed Godwit at Maxey (digiscoped)

I never realised how the feathers on the back of the neck were erectile as a crest.

Greenshank at lunchtime

I digiscoped a couple of Greenshanks at the Prestt hide, Ferry Meadows CP, this lunchtime. However, I didn't have my usual scope, just my old Kowa TS-611, a non-ED smaller scope, which I bung in my rucksack for cycling birding to and from work. I had no tripod and the camera and scope are not really compatible for digiscoping (with loads of vignetting). However I did muster some identifiable shots... Nothing mind-blowing, but it just goes to show that it can be done

Sedge Warbler (digiscoped)

Sedge warbler by Weedons World
This Sedge Warbler has seemingly picked up some of the surrounding birds of the Nene Washes RSPB, including, to my ears, Marsh Harrier yelps, Redshank and Yellow Wagtail (a perennial Sedgey favourite). Can you hear any other phrases?

Blackcap which thinks it's a Brambling

Blackcapcalls by Weedons World
This male Blackcap in Orton Wistow, Peterborough, today, was going mad on the calls, including a weird whine, more like a Brambling or Twite than a typical Blackcap 'tack'...
I have no idea what it was complaining at.
