Visit to Ron McCombe's Wild Bird Hide |
|
Sunday 28th January 2024 . Another visit to Ron McCombe's wild bird hide in Scottish Borders. Wonderful set up. Spent nearly four hours photographing a variety of birds. Here are a selection I rather liked. Well worth contacting Ron to book a slot in bird hide.
I say a "bird hide". It is very comfortable. A large shed. Has power and lighting. Comfortable seats.
Ron provides either tripod heads to clamp onto the shelf at window. Or, a large beanbag to rest your lens on.
Hide has disabled access and you walk about 10 metres from where you park your vehicle to get into the hide.
I pick days at bird hide with sunshine in weather forecast. Ron has bird hide situated in way the sun shines onto the birds coming to feed.
I used my Canon 1dx MkII Camera with Canon EF 400mm f2.8L IS III USM Lens. With a Canon 1.4 Mk III extender (Converter) attached. Giving focal length of 560mm.
I took over 500 photos. 76 are on this page. Please take time browsing through them.
I photographed Chaffinches, Robins, Siskins, Dunnock, Goldfinches, Coal Tits, Nuthatches, Great Spotted Woodpecker , Great Tits and Blue Tits, Blackbird, Woodpigeon.
A squirrel made an apperance.
