A quick trip up to Prestwick Carr in poor light today. We arrived at about 3 to find one or two people stood looking into one of the fields, I was told the great grey shrike was on a bush in that field, putting the scope up I found it but my camera wouldn't reach so I turned to using my Ipod through the scope - It did a good enough job for my purposes, I was also told only 2 SEOs had been seen and neither flying. We walked a bit further along the road and found a SEO on the top of a tree, great views through the scope and even got a few shots from my camera although some needed quite a bit of cropping to gain a close view.

Hi Sam
ReplyDeleteNice one with the Great Grey Shrike!
I think the owl taken through the scope is quite an effective image. It looks like a painting.
Cheers
Glad you connected with the Shrike Sam its obviously getting plenty to eat.
