Wildlife 3rd May 2019 035

            A dull and damp Friday evening after work, A wet hare in the rain and a nearby lapwing. Down on the canal it was very gloomy and even darker under the tree canopy as the leaves have now appeared. A pair of Mallards have nine chicks running amok at great speed. They are hilarious to watch but a nightmare to photograph. Trying to keep a single focus point on the tiny eye of a tiny bird as it weaves about and then accelerates ferociously to catch its siblings with a 600 mm lens is very difficult. With something so small and quite close anything less than perfect focus won't do. I got some really nice shots eventually although the ISO was high. It was such a miserable evening I had the place to myself-no dog walkers! It was probably my greatest failure rate since I started photographing wildlife ( twelve months ago on Mon 6th May coincidentally) I got better at it and I got some slightly better light over the next few days.
