Although
I try to use the DSLR as much as I can there are lots of times when you just can't
get close enough. The Downs are a case in point. With little cover
and birds in the middle of large fields it was all I could to to get the
birds at full magnification on both camera and eyepiece. The pics here are
nothing more than record shots of the day
From Lambourn a gentle drive along the Downs, picking up some nice birds
on the way, eventually took me to
Streatley where Ring ouzel had been
reported. They are difficult birds to get close to so the
distance which digiscoping allows gave me a chance of getting something. I
was never closer than 200 yards to the birds for any of the pics in the
show
The redstart &
wheatear were also at Streatley Warren
The flight shots of the raptors were with
the DSLR but were distant and so were quite small images on the
"negative". The harrier, in particular, was very distant & occupied only
0.2% of the original image!
