A couple of video films taken at Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve this morning. I wanted to capture some film of the Mediterranean Gulls, and due to their distance from the vantage point, I used an X2 converter on my Fuji 150mm to 600mm to reach the distance. Given the extreme distances, I felt the quality of the films was not too bad.
My second film is Black-tailed Godwits.
“Nests on seaside cliffs, often among auks and Northern Fulmar.” This bird, in non-breeding plumage, was in a flock of Black-headed Gulls at Titchfield Haven on Tuesday, a relatively rare sight for us on the Hampshire coast.
I was lucky to capture these images of this fox hunting this morning
Close encounter of the fox kind. A photo-heavy post of a nice condition young fox while walking in the rain at Titchfield Haven Nature Reserve yesterday. Always nice to see, and even better when they just wander past when you stand still.
off she goes!
A female Kingfisher at Titchfield Haven this morning. I find it amazing how some birds can balance on very flexible perches.
Grey Heron waking for the day ahead!
The tide was exceptionally high yesterday, with strong winds in the Solent, so the water in Titchfield Haven was also very high, flooding many of the small islands where the birds roost.
These Lapwings were competing for a place on these wooden posts.
Island D is missing!
A female Kingfisher at Titchfield Haven National Nature Reserve. The female bird is identified by her orange lower beak. Despite the poor light, I was happy with today’s pictures.
