Greenshank


Greenshank ..................Tringa neblaria
The lone Greenshank was photographed at Millbrook yesterday afternoon.
I would like to see them arrive at Par along with other waders this Autumn.

  7. Hi Bob. I reckon they may be quite scarce around the Forest of Dean. As you say..plenty of time yet.

  8. Thanks John.

    If I attain the cult status you have with that scope then I will be more than pleased.
    If S.R is the Bounty Hunter then you must be the Gunslinger. Great Citrine Wagtail shot.

  9. Hi Sam and Lisa.

    Yes it is a great camera and I am glad it all worked out well for you. In hindsight I would not purchase the Zoom Nikkor 80-400mm VR lens again.
    Firstly it is a very slow focusing lens...notice I do not put up many flight shots.
    Secondly. Nikon do not as yet produce a converter that is compatable with the lens.
    I should have gone your route with the 300mm plus converter.

  10. Hi Keith.
    Unlike the Redshank they do appear to be a solitary bird. We saw plenty of the former at Millbrook but only the one Greenshank.
