THE OLD WOOD & GOLDCREST WALK

I went out and did some filiming of British Wildlife but not as far as I wanted to and ended up very local at an old wood I like to walk.

Not many people about. Just how I like it!

Except for one person I kind of liked and chatted to for an hour. I ended up explaining about all my blogs and what I do ... to some looks of surprise, shock and horror. Lol.

She punched the air and said she was rooting for me.

Anyhoo I did some testing of a Koolertron Camera Shoulder Mount Stabilizer type ... contraption.

I also tested a replica Nikon remote while out to some mixed results, one time I depressed the buttong in front of the camera, to the right, to the left, below, behind and above and it worked on every press.

But other times it took a couple of presses. I will alter the contacts for the battery and see if that improves things next time?

Anyhoo I filmed me walking a section where I sometimes catch glimpses of Goldcrests, though up very high in the trees swooping out and in again.

I also see what I believe to be a Song Thrush, which is kind of a rare event these days. I believe I have seen one here before and several years prior to this one in 2016.

I have also seen one several miles north of here in the Fishers Green vicinity.

I also see a few Orange Tip Butterflies which is always nice to see.

Here are the testing videos ...




















In this last one I end up doing a monologue on another blog subject unexpectedly. Due to an hor long conversation I had with a nice lady called Wyn...

A SONG THRUSH - TURDUS PHILOMEDUS

Hmm not bad a shot this one!

What? No I hear you cry?!

Ahh well it was after 8pm and the light was low and we were surrounded by trees and....ooh yeah the camera was on 40 times zoom while being held by hand only, lol.

In fact we thought this was a Nightingale we heard singing earlier and my brother said 'Go on then, let's see what this camera can do?' which was shortly followed by a 'oh wow'.

Not seen a Song Thrush in years and too big for a Redwing, too thin and light in colour for a Fieldfare.....hmm maybe it IS a Song Thrush after all?! LOL.
