Wat tyler country park - with a blue tint....
Friday, 28. August 2009, 16:47:09
These are photos from July, back when I had the white balance 'issue' with my camera (basically the white balance got changed to tungsten and I didnt realise) which gave most photos a blue tint, at least to some extent. Ive have a go and the colour balance on these , but the blueness shows still on some. ANyway, the morning started well with a curlew
Down by the marina I heard a familar bird call looked up and saw to peregrines (probably a male and female) mobbing each other. All the photos I took were blurred and blue, but I have one unavoidably over sharpened and edited image that you can see the bird well enough in
Later a gatekeeper posed with a green bottle
In contrast to most places I know, the house sparrows are doing well at Wat Tyler, with many raising broods, which is presumably what this one is doing
I found some nice looking teasel
A moorhen posed nicely on the pond - there far more cooperative when there arn't 4 huge dogs splashing around in it!
Bly the lake a black tailed skimmer was bathing in the morning sun
And the best posing goldfinch Ive had with my new camera appeared - shame the shutter speed and WB was ruined by the tungsten setting
Goldfinches are my new Greenfinches!

Great set Neil, despite having an incorrect WB.
Especially like the Moorhen.
