Lesser Whitethroat - MVCP

This Lesser Whitethroat was singing near the MVCP access track, unfortunately it was rather breezy at the time. Videoed using a Canon 600D camera and a Canon 100-400mm lens. Video by Martin Green.

Turnstone - MVCP Pillinge

This Turnstone was on a brick island about 80 yards in front of the MVCP Pillinge hide from just before noon to at least 2pm. I was very pleased to see it as if I have seen one on the park before it was at least 20 years ago... :-) Digiscoped using a Nikon ED50 scope and a Canon S95 compact camera. Here is a video of the bird taken with my Canon 600D and Canon 100-400mm lens:

Purple Heron - MVCP

My contribution to the collection of dodgy photos of the Purple Heron... This one was taken at Wetland 9 of the MVCP where the heron dropped in for a few minutes on its return journey to Rookery after visiting Brogborough Lake. Unfortunately my camera initially refused to focus properly when the bird was a bit closer and more side-on... I'm not complaining though as I was convinced I had missed my chance to see it at the MVCP... :-) Photographs by Martin Green.
