Wryneck


Wryneck .........Jynx torquilla
Photographed at St Levan.
The Wryneck was two foot into a thicket so getting a clean shot was impossible.
My lens *hunted* and I had to resort to manual focus which I am not at all confident with.
The result is a noisy record shot of a bird Angie and myself set out to see ...that ended up successful.

  5. Thanks Adrian.

    I would agree with it being a difficult shot to execute well as the bird was inside the thicket with twigs and leaves obscuring a clear view. However..my lens started hunting and would not focus so reluctantly I tried manual knowing I faced a stiff task as my eyes are not that good and my glasses were in my pocket. I am pleased I got the shot.

  6. Hi Keith.

    Not an easy bird to find but very rewarding when you do.
