Corncrake

Just back from a week in the Hebrides with Corncrake very much in mind and even though it was a very successful trip I only managed a handful of good Corncrake images.

Canon 1D MkII + 500 iso 250 1/320 at f6.3 and processed in CS3

Good image David - classic pose and nice to see it calling; or should that be "craking??"

Great shot, its sad that they have become so rare.

Looks like a productive trip

Often heard and rarely seen-Great image

Superb.

Very nice David, possibly a tad early as the numbers will build over the next couple of weeks, always difficult to guage when best between bird numbers and vegetation height/growth.
Very lucky to get such a good eye while the bird is calling, generally the nictitating membrane closes over.

Great shot David. especially like the long grass and pose

Nice shot David.

HiDavid,

Looks like a very productive trip. Excellent shot of a bird I have never seen. Thanks for sharing.

Regards

Rob

Can almost hear the sound it makes. Excellent image with just the right amount of environment surrounding the bird.

Nice shot of a special bird as ever David

Nice to see a Corncrake .

Great bird, so rarely seen or photographed

Another "Kjaer" classic.

"it was a very successful trip I only managed a handful of good Corncrake images" -- I know the feeling!
I'm now not a great fan of Mares Tail Grass - but still have a good number as well - the SEO was a cracker which you should post next.

Cheers

(I will not be online, with the facility to post images, until mid June as I moved house to a new build)

extremely fine looking image David.
