    Visited Saltholme yesterday Saturday 14th August

    I assume saltholme has easier views of bearded tits? from the pics, things look rather distant at this reserve?

    QE2 + woodhorn patch

    Anyone want to join me, experimenting with taking bird vids in this area? Its slightly unique as it has a stock of semi tame birds inc whopper swan, tree sparrows moorhens etc for example... this bird was 10ft away from me. Camera was struggling to focus! Not really interested in photography...

    focus problem

    Bought a cheap bridge camera off ebay 28x fuji. results were ave.....occasionally good, but mostly i felt like I was fighting it all the time. the auto focus seems very ropey. IS this linked to depth of field ? I have to confess this bird was only 15ft away from me... steep learning curve...

    yes ;ogically i agree, they would be the ones who had bred up the tweed. However they looked too grey(the males) for goosanders.
