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.
I just can't not take pictures of these handsome chaps. If only the Bitterns, Bearded Tits, Marsh Harriers and Otters would pose like this.

From Wikipedia....... "Cock Lane is a small street in Smithfield in the City of London, leading from Giltspur Street in the east to Snow Hill in the west.
In the medieval period, it was known as Cokkes Lane and was the site of legal brothels. 25 Cock Lane is the site where the supposed Cock Lane ghost manifested itself in 1762, and is also the place where writer John Bunyan, who wrote England's first best-seller, died from a fever in 1688."
