Birder waiting for the birds to arrive to roost on the Marshes. The temperature was cold and the clouds threatening.

Mallard (Anus platyrhynchos). Copyright 2009 Peter DruryThis shot was taken with the poor light conditions of late afternoon. Flight shots at fl 500mm should have been out of the question. The shutter speed fell to 1/125s and this was hand held. The background reeds provide the impact of a fast flying duck which I was panning as it moved. Motion in the wings can also be seen the closer you get to the tips. Rather than bin it I have decided it is a keeper. What do you think?

Wheatear (Oenanthe oenanthe)
Southmoor, Langstone Harbour
I do not often see these in bushes as they seem to prefer open ground.

Avocet (Recurvirostra avosetta). Copyright 2009 Peter Drury
The flock of Avocet have arrived in Langstone Harbour again. They will over-winter here. The birds were feeding on the mud flats in the harbour. As the tide comes in they took off and flew to the refuge of Farlington Marshes.

Painted Lady (Vanessa cardui)

The morning after the night before! . Copyright 2009 Peter Drury
While taking photographs of wildlife at the Oysterbeds, Hayling Island, I came across this depressing scene. Apparantly this boat was with a number of others returning to harbour following a cruise. Unfortunately, at high tide, the outer walls of the oysterbeds are submerged. This boat hit the wall and, as you can see, became firmly stuck on them. The crew had to wait for the next high tide before attempting to refloat the boat. At least the sun was shining and made what must have been a miserable wait a little better.
