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.

Watermead Park - 1 Sept 2012

As usual there wasn't much birdlife in evidence at the park, but I got to the "hole in the wall" hide just as this cormorant surfaced. I'm not sure what it has caught, but it seems to have quite a struggle swallowing it,








They were all taken on the same settings, using the Canon 7d with my ef 100 - 400mm lens at it's maximum length. The settings were: 1/1600 @ 6.3, iso 1600.
Sorry the quality isn't as good as I'd like, The light wasn't the best and I didn't have time for the niceties. I would have liked to drop the iso to 800 but didn't want to miss the action.
