My prize target (the green woodpecker) has far better vision than me, and evaded the camera on three occasions (there was no fourth opportunity). What&#39;s particularly irksome is that it happily pecks away in a grassy clearing while hordes of people go past, but takes to the wing the moment anyone stops (even from a distance of about 70 yards). I have a sneeking (if slightly paranoid) suspicion that it is quite literally camera shy, and takes fright at the sight of 100-400 lens (which unhelpfully is cream\/white and something of a beacon). I may try going out with the 300mm lens (a nice discreet black) to see if I have better luck.<\/p>\n<p>But not every creature is as shy as the woodpecker&#8230; and there was plenty of variety on view today.<\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/magpie_0111074368.jpg' \/><\/span><span class=\"aligncenter\">Magpie<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/pwt_0111074371.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">Pied Wagtail<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/squirrel_0111074388.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">Squirrel<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/fox_cub_0111074327.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">Of course, a fox<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/woodmouse_0111074336.jpg' \/><\/span> <span class=\"aligncenter\">And a wood mouse<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class='imgcenter'><img alt='' src='https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/11\/hedgehog_0111074424.jpg' \/><\/span><span class=\"aligncenter\"> And even a hedgehog<\/span><\/p>\n<p><i>Camera note: all shots taken with the EF 100-400mm f\/4.5-5.6L USM IS lens, except the fox which was with the Sigma 105mm F2.8 EX DG macro.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[980,4,282,54,50],"tags":[24],"class_list":["post-986","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-birds-2","category-foxes","category-hedgehog","category-mouse","category-squirrel","tag-wildlife-2","entry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/986","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=986"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/986\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=986"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=986"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.permuted.org.uk\/photography\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=986"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
