Croxall Lakes on 5th July 2009

In the morning, I went on one of Dave Scattergood's excellent bird walks for East Staffordshire Council. There were a couple of Barnacle Geese amongst the Canadas. Many othe birds were seen, but I was concentrating on the Banded Agrions (or Demoiselles, according to your preferences), between trying to capture images of the Kingfishers which only ever settled at a distance and obscured by branches. In the end, one settled quite close, although it was difficult to cut out the blur from grasses, etc., that were just in front of us. In all my shots, the wings look quite black.

Please Note: Blogger seems to be making it difficult for some (many?) people to leave comments on blogs, and also making it difficult for the recipient of comments to detect that a comment has been left. If you have any difficulties leaving a comment on the blog, please feel free to email me on richard@peglermail.co.uk. However, if you are solely trying to promote your own blog or business by leaving a link in your comment, it will be blocked. If anyone wants to find you as a result of a comment that you have left, they can do so by looking at your profile.

Please, Blogger, get this mess sorted out.
