06 July 2013 Great Crested Grebes at Woolston.

I paid a visit to Woolston Eyes on Saturday in the hope of capturing some shots of the Black-necked Grebes but as it happened I didn't manage anything worthwhile as far as they were concerned. However I did get some reasonable shots of Great crested grebes with a chick.

All the usual culprits were still around, Gadwall, Teal, Pochard, Coots, Little Grebe, Canada Goose, Greylag Goose, Moorhen, Cormorant, Buzzard flying over and many more birds were around.


Reed Warbler


Coots

I was expecting lots of really good photos especially with the light being extremely good but for whatever reason the quality wasn't as good as I'd like.


Pheasant

I know I had the 1.4x convertor fitted to the 500mm lens and Canon 7D which does reduce the quality somewhat but even so they were not nearly as good as what I was hoping for.

I'll have to some experimenting to see how to increase the number of savers.

Thanks for reading.
