Cock Pheasant
I've been out having some fun with my new toy - the Tamron 150-600mm lens. I set out with the intention of photographing wagtails at a local river where I often see them but not only were there no wagtails, after wandering up and down the bank, there were no other birds either.
Plan B was to head for the Megget Reservoir where I was fairly certain I would find some Oystercatchers. I did find Oystercatchers but they quickly disappeared. However I did manage to capture a few frames as well as some pictures of a Cock Pheasant and a Meadow Pipit. Once again, most of these are large blow ups, particularly the Meadow Pipit which was quite distant.
