The pictures today are of some of the birds that regularly visit Hilbre Island. I wasn't able to get as close as I would have liked and all of the above pictures were taken using a Tamron 70 - 300mm telephoto lens at 300mm.
Pictures 1, 2 and 4 are (I think) of Barnacle Geese, picture 3 are Knot and picture 5 is of Oyster Catchers. My favourite shots are pictures 3 & 4, let me know which you like best in the comments below.
Well the birds in picture 3 are definitely Knot Barnacle Geese. I like the last picture, the various positions of the birds allow for different displays of the plummage in a single photo.
