I’d been hoping for another fox cub, but so far nothing this evening. Instead here are a couple of shots of lapwings taken today at Pulborough Brooks, the RSPB reserve in West Sussex.
The last shot is simply a reference image, also taken today at Pulborough. It’s a nightingale, an iconic small bird. It had gathered a good sized crowd around it to listen to its beautiful song.
Camera note: all photos taken with the Canon 7D Mark II and EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM lens.

18 Apr 2017Marvelous birds, Paul … we don’t see much of either, over here, especially considering that the nightingale is not an American bird.

24 Apr 2017I rarely see nightingales either (or at least I don’t recognize them). It was nice to get away for the day.
