Rainham RSPB

Works been full on this week, so in all honesty i took a very very early POETS day. Sunny Friday afternoon wandering around Rainham....superb.

I took route via the Woodland off the ramp; easily four singing Chiffchaff

Chiffchaff in the Woodland area

Redwing x2 plus the usual woodland species and 5 singing Cettis, one of which was showing pretty well but always managing to be obscure for the camera.

It was an afternoon to play with the camera; AV, TV, tracking modes, continuous shooting - yep you guessed it some very dark , blurry, fuzzy and generally appalling shots.

The Coots were the easiest to shoot, so became the main subject. 176 shots, with about 4 as almost passable, the rest when straight to delete. This photography is so frustrating.  I think i've got some OK stuff and when you get home its all rubbish.
