BRITISH WILDLIFE: THE NEW ERA

Well ..

I have been a little busy .. and away for eight days.

I am still shopping but apart from some stuff inbound .. the main shopping has paused .. due to some unforeseen circumstances and a change in a particular .. destination.

A destination I have already been to once ..

But here are some pictures with my new camera ..

Bear with me as I am getting used to the controls and .. trying to remember to alter my settings, aperture and such, as the light changes.

Right then .. a few things to remember for viewers going forwards ..

These images are shot in RAW
Shock number 1: These are edited/processed in bad software (i.e. prob losing Image Quality)
Shock Number 2: These are then shrunk down to 30% their original size .. yup I do not care how many times you look and think rubbish .. they ARE shrunk down to 30% - 42 Mega Pixels
Shock Number 3: they are reduced in size in MS Paint .. yeah, yeah .. I know, I know
Serif Affinity Photo will be purchased very soon!
I will sort out my FLICKR account I never used .. much .. anyway
Sony A99 II DSLT
Sony G Series 70-200mm f2.8
Sony Zeiss 24-70mm f2.8
Sony 1.4x Teleconverter
Sigma 85mm f1.4 (Incoming .. soo .. no, none of the pictures are shot with anything other than the two f2.8 lenses .. some might be at f4 or higher if I used the teleconverter)
Two dozen 4K videos up on YouTube, see bottom
I was with four children that were hyped up some of the time .. so could not do everything .. plus the family was kinda .. threatened so had to focus on that .. kind of still am, bear with me a couple of weeks, lol

On one shoot I met a really nice guy, photographer, who loved nature and we chatted in the hide for 3 hours. Kinda reminded me of why I do some of the things and blogs that do .. people like him.

Think now that these are Cetti's Warblers as we heard one call .. unless my first hunch these are .. crap no my first hunch was Willow Warblers .. then I thought they were more like Reed Warblers .. but there are Willow Warblers because I got a video of a young one, complete with olive colouring .. but we heard Cetti's Warblers call.

ITS A WARBLER!! LMAO! FISHERS GREEN

Thought this was a rarer Blue Butterfly at first but soon realised it was a Common Blue Butterfly

Chub ..

More Chub ..

Gadwall

Unknown to me .. Hen Scaup?

The Duck Meet at Colwyn Bay

Yup siree! That is indeed a Kingfisher despite the bad photo .. IT WAS TOO QUICK AS WAS I ..

This is one of several species I have captured on my new camera I never got with my old one .. Inside of a month and I think the new species count is at least at FOUR?!

Common Darter?

Gadwall

The Rare Rough Robin LOL ..

Speckled Wood Butterfly ..

Autumn Sunsets ..

Probably a Yellow Eared Slider Terrapin? Fishers Green.

A duck curiously looking like a hen Scaup but .. cannot see it .. Rye Meads

Photos out of order .. this and the following Young Grey Wagtail pictures were shot at Colwyn Bay at an RSPB site ..

A young Willow Warbler .. Fishers Green ..

Now starting to think I have been filming Cetti's Warblers?

One called really loud and I am not familiar with their song my brother informs me they are loud and a man I met their, keen birder, told me they were Cetti's Warblers calling.
