Last Friday, I went to Haddenham Fen again, this time in the afternoon hoping for more success with the Corn Buntings.

Despite it being sunny and calm when I left home, it was still breezy on the fens so that the Corn Buntings were not sitting on the tops of the foliage but I managed a couple of keepers

Another trip in the offing I think - must do better.

A male Linnet was showing well on the top of a fluffy reed mace making jaeger le coultre replica a nice image - that is until I got within camera range when it moved to lower perches. Not as nice but still acceptable

And then the unexpected - the male Yellow Wagtail was still showing but on the wrong side of the road for the sun. Then the sun went behind a cloud for a few minutes and I happily shot away

During the afternoon, the local Farmer stopped me to ask what I was doing - I had been swiss replica watches  clocked there on both visits and the car recognised. Can't blame him for that.

After explaining, and mentioning  the names of a couple of local bird club members, he became very helpful with more local information. It pays to keep on the right side of the farming community - thay have a tremendous wealth of local wildlife knowledge and are usually keen to impart it.
