A very short post tonight, with the theme of ‘differences’: of size, and of focus! The shots were all taken at Seven Sisters, near Eastbourne.<\/p>\n

The first pair of images are of house martins. The conditions were poor, and I was struggling to get anything in focus as a small flock swirled overhead, feeding. Among the numerous in-and-out of focus shots I collected, were these snatched images of what looks like an adult feeding a fledgling on the wing. The photo is rubbish, but it’s a nice moment to capture.<\/p>\n

The second paring takes us to the opposite end of the size scale, and the shots are at least reasonably in focus. The light conditions were better (it was one of those ‘variable’ days). It’s a heron, which is nothing unusual but I liked the open mouth in the first shot, and the watery foreground in the second.<\/p>\n

And that’s that for the day. <\/p>\n
