People who know me will have heard me say before “an hour in Benarth seldom disappoints”. Today was no exception.
As I walked towards the hide at Conwy RSPB today a Magpie flew over. “I haven’t really taken a decent photo of a Magpie” I thought. So the bird came back half-an-hour later and posed in front of the hide for me.
Apart from that, the action was distant. A Water Rail appeared briefly on the other side of the pool…..
…. and a Kingfisher flashed past shortly after. Little Egrets are always so argumentative, for no apparent reason but it makes for good photos.
Apart from those shots bird photo opportunities were non-existent so it gave me a chance to try out my new 5D2/28-135 combo.
The castle always makes a good target.
and who can resist an Autumn Berry shot?
