Ken Dee Marshes
Today the weather forecast was for sunny spells with any cloud burning off by mid morning. When we left home it was 9 degrees and rising with a watery sun hidden in a cloudy sky. By the time we reached the RSPB reserve at Ken Dee Marshes, it was very dull and misty with a max temperature of only 6 degrees. So much for the weather forecast. Instead of getting some nice light for a change, I ended up with the same old story here, ISO 1600 and loads of noise. Still it was another chance to practice with the Sigma 150-500.
There was a lot more activity on the water today, unfortunately it is a bit further away so a higher crop neccessary. This Heron decided to turn up before he was chased away by some gulls.
This was probably my favourite shot of the day. A pair of Canada geese flying low over the marshes. The high iso and large crop along with the dull conditions suited a mono conversion to my mind.

Todays post is from Lochwinnoch RSPB. These shots were taken yesterday with the Sigma 150-500. As usual the weather was poor so more high ISO shots.
