I just had to get out this evening. I am so busy at work and with other "stuff" too; I just needed to get away from it all. I intended to do a bit of a tour of the area; Par, Menabilly, Porthpean and maybe even Pontsmill but at the first stop, which was Par I realised it was hopeless. It was just too cold and my condition is pretty severe at present. I can only describe it as like having a ball and chain. The will is there, but it always holds me back.
Enough grumbling!
I gave up at Par quite quickly and said I needed to go home, but Trevor suggested Menabilly and I could just stay in the car, which I didn't of course! On the road to Menabilly we spotted two blobs in a field. We pulled into a gateway and I jumped out to get some shots. (Unbeknown to Trevor) I had wedged his car door against the hedge and stood on the sill, leaning against the door to get some height, as I was not tall enough to focus on the birds above the grass! Anyway, they are over-exposed and I couldn't hold myself steady, let alone the camera, but at least I got some shots!

ReplyDeleteGreat shots Angie of a bird that is not seen to often,well done for sticking it out as it paid dividends.
ReplyDeleteStanding on the car sill. !! Tut Tut Angie. Those Red leg are never easy to photograph at the best of times.
ReplyDeleteNice shots of the Red-legs Angie. I hope Trevor was not too miffed...Lol. Let's hope the wind direction changes soon for some warmer breezes.
ReplyDeleteAlways good to see these Angie. Good captures.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sam, Monty, Roy, Frank & Keith.
ReplyDeleteCool Angie. Nice to be able to spot that one. I rarely see partridge in France, they fly before I spot them! Beautiful pictures!
