Lakenheath Fen

Ambitiously I decided to see if I could handhold a 300mm lens with 2x extender.   Although there were plenty of images which were not sharp, I've now got to decide whether I risk this combination of lens and extender when on holiday next month.   I think more practice is indicated!

It was lovely to watch both a male and a female Reed Bunting in some reeds.   The male is moulting which is why he isn't looking quite as smart as will do later in the year.   There was an obliging Chaffinch too, near the feeders.

Another venue and another Bittern, but it didn't come that close to be photographed.   The last of the five images must be of a female Pheasant - again at a distance.
