ð Tehidy Woodsð¦
The morning started with a walk around Tehidy Woods looking for autumnal scenes. Without the presence of mist or inclement weather, there just wasn't the atmosphere in the scenes I always hope for.
So, inspired by talking to a bird photographer while on my walk, I switched to my 150-600mm lens and searched for some wildlife. With such an abundance of wildlife around the ponds, I decided to look for the more elusive critters rather than shooting everything I saw.
My first shot was of a water vole... at 150mm. Not because I was close to it, but because I had left my lens lock on! Before long I had spotted this Grey Heron. While they are common in the UK, they don't like humans getting too close, which for me, makes taking a reasonable photo of one more rewarding!
