A pictorial diary of my walks around the parks and wild areas of Leicestershire, and occasionally farther afield.

If you're new to my blog, you might like to have a look at the pictures in the older post as well (click on button at the bottom of the page).

I am also a writer, using the pen-name John Gwynant, and I'll occasionally announce my latest book release on the blog.

Dull and Dismal

Technoratti - NMBMSUZRZB76


The weather being dull and dismal as it is, it's not good for wildlife photography, so here are a few shots from my collection.


Canon EOS 50d, EF 100-400mm Lens
1/200 @ 5-6, iso 200, 400mm


This boathouse is on Cropston reservoir and being on the opposite side of the lake from the footpath is a good place to test lenses.



 Canon EOS 50d, EF 100-400mm Lens
1/200 @ 5.6, iso 400, 130mm




Canon Eos 50d, EF 100-400mm Lens
1/200 @5.6, iso 400, 130mm

These two were taken a couple of days ago and clearly show the greyness off the day. The Mallard had just been given bread by some children and after a brief skirmish with other ducks and swans came out victorious. After his meal he washed and preened before ducking under, then rising for a good shake to get rid of excess water.
