Re: Rye Harbour birds today

Lovely to see the photographs GM

We had an Egret in the field last year it must have come up the River Severn . My neighbour who was walking his dog called me over to look at it on the bank of the stream. I just got to see it before it flew away.

Re: Rye Harbour birds today

Blimey, all those in a day! I'd be dead chuffed with just one. You must have a lot of patience gasman.

I find wildlife photography, birds in flight especially, a truly frustrating business.

Very well done.

I don't have a favourite, so I'll tell you which is least favourite .... the Great White Egret. Is that a particularly rare find, I don't know? Difficult lighting conditions, still you've handled it well. The others are absolute crackers.

Thanks Meg. Shame that you didn't get to see the Egret close up - a lovely bird

Excellent. Sharp focus and I particularly like the uncluttered subject matter.

Rye harbour is a lovely place to walk around at any time of the year and as for patience, with wildlife photography, you certainly need it sometimes. With birds in flight, it is technique and lots of practice. I am sometimes too slow and manage to get their bums in the shot The Great White Egret is becoming more abundant in the UK, with sightings more frequent now.
